Jesus Heals a Blind Man

³⁵ Jesus was coming near the city of Jericho. There was a blind man sitting beside the road, begging for money. ³⁶ When he heard the people coming down the road, he asked, “What is happening?”

³⁷ They told him, “Jesus, the one from Nazareth, is coming here.”

³⁸ The blind man cried out, “Jesus, Son of David! Please help me!”

³⁹ The people who were in front, leading the group, told the blind man to be quiet. But the blind man shouted more and more, “Son of David, please help me!”

⁴⁰ Jesus stopped and said, “Bring the blind man to me!” When he came near, Jesus 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, “Then see! You are healed because you believed.”

⁴³ At once the man was able to see, and he followed Jesus, thanking God. All the people who saw this praised God.
