Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus

46 ^xAnd they came to Jericho. And ^yas he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, ^za blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside.

36 And hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant. 37 They told him, ^u“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”

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

30 And behold, there were two blind men sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord,¹ have mercy on us, ^oSon of David!” 31 The crowd ^prebuked them, telling them to be silent, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”

49 And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, ^c“Take heart. Get up; he is calling you.” 50 And throwing off his ^dcloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus said to him, ^e“What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, ^f“Rabbi, let me recover my sight.”

42 And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; ^yyour faith has ^zmade you well.” 43 And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, ^aglorifying God. And ^ball the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
