Approaching Jericho

³⁵ Now as Yeshua was approaching Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting by the road, begging. ³⁶ But when he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. ³⁷ They told him that Yeshua ha-Natzrati was passing by. ³⁸ And he cried out, saying, “Yeshua, Ben-David, have mercy on me!”

³⁹ And those leading the way were scolding him, so he would be quiet. But he kept shouting all the more, “Ben-David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁰ So Yeshua stopped and ordered the blind man to be brought to Him. And when he came near, Yeshua asked him, ⁴¹ “What do you want Me to do for you?”

And he said, “Master, I want to see again!”

⁴² Yeshua said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has made you well.” ⁴³ Immediately the man received his sight and began following Yeshua, glorifying God. And when all the people saw it, they also gave praise to God.
