46 They arrived at Jericho, and then when Yeshua and his followers were leaving again with a large crowd following, they came across blind Bartimeus sitting beside the path begging. 47 When he heard that it was Yeshua from Nazareth going past, he yelled out, “Yeshua, promised descendant of David, help me please.”

48 When several people told him to stop, he just yelled out even louder, “Yeshua, promised descendant of David, please help me.”

49 Then Yeshua stopped and got the people to call the blind man. So they called him, “Hey, be confident! Get up and come because he’s called for you.”

50 So Bartimeus threw off his jacket, jumped up, and was led to Yeshua.

51 “Now, what can I do for you?” Yeshua asked.

“My teacher, I’d like to be able to see,” Bartimeus replied.

52 Then Yeshua responded, “Ok, off you go then—your faith has saved you.”

And immediately Bartimeus was able to see, and followed along the path after Yeshua.
