46 They  * 10:46–52 Mt 20:29–34; Lk 18:35–43 came to Jericho.  * 10:46 Nm 22:1 And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind  * 10:46 Mt 15:14 beggar,  * 10:46 Jn 9:8 was sitting by the road.  * 10:46 Mk 8:2747 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth,  * 10:47 Mk 14:67 he began to cry out, "Jesus, Son of David,  * 10:47 2Ch 1:1; Mt 1:1; Rm 1:3 have mercy  * 10:47 Mt 5:7; Mk 5:19; Lk 1:50 on me! "  * 10:47 Mt 15:22; 17:15; Mk 10:48; Lk 16:2448 Many warned him to keep quiet, but he was crying out all the more, "Have mercy on me,  * 10:48 Mk 10:47 Son of David! "

49 Jesus stopped and said, "Call him."

So they called the blind man and said to him, "Have courage!  * 10:49 Jn 16:33 Get up; he’s calling for you." 50 He threw off his coat,  * 10:50 Lk 19:36 jumped up, and came to Jesus.

51 Then Jesus answered him, "What do you want* 10:51 Mk 1:40me to do for you? "

"Rabboni,"* 10:51 Hb word for my lord,* 10:51 Jn 20:16 the blind man said to him, "I want to see."

52 Jesus said to him, "Go, your faith has saved you."* 10:52 Mt 9:22; Mk 6:56; Lk 5:20 Immediately he could see and began to follow Jesus on the road.
