Luke 18:35-43

Evangelical Heritage Version

Blind Bartimaeus

³⁵ As he approached Jericho, a blind man sat by the road, begging. ³⁶ When he heard a crowd going by, he asked what was happening. ³⁷ They told him that Jesus the Nazarene was passing by. ³⁸ He called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” ³⁹ Those who were at the front of the crowd rebuked him, telling him to be quiet. But he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁰ Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, he asked him, ⁴¹ “What do you want me to do for you?”

He said, “Lord, I want to see again.”

⁴² Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has saved you.”

⁴³ Immediately he received his sight and began following Jesus, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw this, gave praise to God.
