Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus

⁴⁶ They came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, a blind man, Bartimaeus the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road begging. ⁴⁷ When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” ⁴⁸ Many told him to be quiet, but he kept shouting all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁹ Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”

They called the blind man, saying, “Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!”

⁵⁰ He tossed aside his outer garment, jumped up, and went to Jesus.

⁵¹ “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.

The blind man replied, “Rabboni,^[a] I want to see again.”

⁵² Jesus told him, “Go. Your faith has made you well.” Immediately he received his sight and began following Jesus on the road.
