29 As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him.  * 20:29–34 Mk 10:46–52; Lk 18:35–4330 There were two blind men sitting by the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David! " 31 The crowd demanded that they keep quiet, but they cried out all the more, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David! "  * 20:30–31 Mt 9:27; 21:9; 22:42

32 Jesus stopped, called them, and said, "What do you want me to do for you? "

33 "Lord," they said to him, "open our eyes." 34 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes. Immediately they could see, and they followed him.
