46
And they came to Jericho: and when he was going out of Jericho, with his disciples and a great number of people, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind man, was seated by the wayside, with his hand out for money.
47
And when it came to his ears that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he gave a cry, and said, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
48
And some of them, turning in protest, gave him an order to be quiet: but he went on crying out all the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.
49
And Jesus came to a stop and said, Let him come. And crying out to the blind man, they said to him, Be comforted: come, he has sent for you.
50
And he, putting off his coat, got up quickly, and came to Jesus.
51
And Jesus said to him, What would you have me do to you? And the blind man said, Master, make me able to see.
52
And Jesus said to him, Go on your way; your faith has made you well. And straight away he was able to see, and went after him in the way.
