²⁰ And at his gate ^(A)was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,

² And a man ^(A)lame from birth was being carried, ^(B)whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate ^(C)to ask alms of those entering the temple.

⁵ Listen, my beloved brothers, ^(A)has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be ^(B)rich in faith and heirs of ^(C)the kingdom, ^(D)which he has promised to those who love him?

⁹ Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation,

²¹ who desired to be fed with ^(A)what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores.

⁷ So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and struck Job with loathsome ^(A)sores from ^(B)the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.

Jesus Heals a Blind Beggar

^35 (A)As he drew near to Jericho, ^(B)a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. ³⁶ And hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant. ³⁷ They told him, ^(C)“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” ³⁸ And he cried out, “Jesus, ^(D)Son of David, have mercy on me!” ³⁹ And those who were in front ^(E)rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” ⁴⁰ And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him, ^41 (F)“What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me recover my sight.” ⁴² And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; ^(G)your faith has ^(H)made you well.” ⁴³ And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, ^(I)glorifying God. And ^(J)all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
