46And they came to Jericho. And as he was going out from Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.47And when he heard that Jesus the Nazarene was there, he began to cry out and to say, Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me.48And many were rebuking him so that he would be silent, but he cried out all the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.49And Jesus stopped and said, Call him. So they called the blind man, saying to him, Take courage; get up, he is calling you.50And throwing off his cloak, he jumped up and came to Jesus.51And Jesus said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "Rabboni, that I may recover my sight."52And Jesus said to him, "Go; your faith has made you well." Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the road.
