46 And they came to Jericho. And as He with His disciples and a large crowd went out of Jericho, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, was sitting by the side of the highway, begging.

47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me!

48 And many warned him that he should be quiet, but he cried a great deal more, Son of David, have mercy on me!

49 And Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. And they called the blind [man], saying to him, Be of good comfort; rise up, He is calling you.

50 And casting away his garment, he rose up and came to Jesus.

51 And answering Jesus said to him, What do you desire that I should do to you? The blind [man] said to Him, My Lord, that I may see again.

52 And Jesus said to him, Go, your faith has healed you. And instantly he saw again, and he followed Jesus in the way.
