Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging.

³⁶

And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant.

³⁷

So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.

³⁸

And he cried out, 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 mercy on me!"

⁴⁰

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

⁴¹

saying, "What do you want Me to do for you?" 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 followed Him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
