When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
48
Many people admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man. “Take courage!” they said. “Get up! He is calling for you.”
50
Throwing off his cloak, Bartimaeus jumped up and came to Jesus.
51
“What do you want Me to do for you?” Jesus asked. “Rabboni,” said the blind man, “let me see again.”
52
“Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
