A Blind Man Healed at Jericho

46 And they came to Jericho. And as[fn] he was setting out from Jericho along with his disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar, Bartimaeus the son of Timaeus, was sitting beside the road. 47 And when he[fn] heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 And many people warned him that he should be quiet. But he was crying out even more loudly,[fn] “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49 And Jesus stopped and[fn] said, “Call him.” And they called the blind manand[fn] said to him, “Have courage! Get up! He is calling you.” 50 And he threw off his cloak, jumped up, and[fn] came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus answered him and[fn] said, “What do you wantme to do[fn] for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Rabboni,[fn] that I may regainmy sight.” 52 And Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has healed you.” And immediately he regained his sight and began to follow[fn] him on the road.
