35 Now it came to pass, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat alongside the road begging.

36 And hearing a crowd traveling through [the city], he asked what this was.

37 And they reported to him that Jesus the Nazarene was passing by.

38 And he shouted, saying, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

39 Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have pity on me!"

40 And having stopped, Jesus commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he drew near, He asked him,

41 saying, "What do you desire [that] I should do for you?"And he said, "Lord, that I may receive [my] sight."

42 Then Jesus said to him, "Receive [your] sight; your faith has made you well."

43 And immediately he received [his] sight, and was following Him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw [this], gave praise to God.
