and when he was come near he asked him;

Luke 18:40 In-Context

38 καὶ ἐβόησεν λέγων · Ἰησοῦ υἱὲ Δαυίδ, ἐλέησόν με.

39 καὶ οἱ προάγοντες ἐπετίμων αὐτῷ ἵνα σιγήσῃ · αὐτὸς δὲ πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἔκραζεν · Υἱὲ Δαυίδ, ἐλέησόν με.

40 σταθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐκέλευσεν αὐτὸν ἀχθῆναι πρὸς αὐτόν. ἐγγίσαντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτόν ·

41 Τί σοι θέλεις ποιήσω; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν · Κύριε, ἵνα ἀναβλέψω.

42 καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ · Ἀνάβλεψον · ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέν σε.
