Luke 18:35-43

Jesus Heals a Blind Beggar

35 ¹As he drew near to Jericho, ²a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging.

36 And hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant.

37 They told him, ³“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by. ”

38 And he cried out, “Jesus, ⁴Son of David, have mercy on me! ”

39 And those who were in front ⁵rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me! ”

40 And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him,

41 ⁶“What do you want me to do for you? ”He said, “Lord, let me recover my sight. ”

42 And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; ⁷your faith has ⁸made you well. ”

43 And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, ⁹glorifying God. And ¹⁰all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
