35 And as He came near Jericho, it happened that a certain blind man sat by the roadside begging.

36 And hearing the crowd pass by, he asked what it meant.

37 And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth passed by.

38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, Son of David! Have mercy on me.

39 And they who were in front rebuked him that he should be quiet. But he cried so much the more, Son of David! Have mercy on me.

40 And Jesus stood and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him,

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

42 And Jesus said to him, Receive your sight! Your faith has saved you.

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