35 As Yeshua got close to the city of Yericho, there was a blind man sitting beside the road begging. 36 When he heard a crowd passing through, he started asking what was going on 37 and they told him that Yeshua from Nazareth was passing by, 38 so he started shouting, “Yeshua, David’s offspring, be merciful to me!”

39 Some of the people walking past him told him to be quiet, but he just shouted louder, “David’s offspring, be merciful to me!”

40 Then Yeshua stopped and ordered that the man be brought across to him. When he came, he asked him, 41 “What do you want me to do for you?”

He answered, “Master, I want to be able to see!”

42 “Then receive your sight,” Yeshua said, “because your faith has healed you.”

43 Immediately he was able to see and followed along after Yeshua praising God, and the people that saw it happen also praised God.

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.

29 When the all left Jericho, a large crowd followed after him. 30 Then, look, two blind men heard that Yeshua was passing by, so they yelled out, “Show mercy to us, master, David’s descendant!”

31 The crowd warned them to be quiet, but they just yelled out even louder, “Master, David’s descendant, show mercy to us!”

32 At that point, Yeshua stopped and called them over and asked, “What is it that you’re wanting me to do for you?”

33 “Master,” they said, “open our eyes so we can see.”

34 Yeshua felt compassionate towards them and touched their eyes with his fingers and then straight away they were able to see, and they followed after him.
