As
Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside
begging. When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was
happening. They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing
by."
He called out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"
Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he
shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he
came near, Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for
you?"
"Lord, I want to see," he replied.
Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has healed
you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus,
praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God.
