A Blind Man Healed at Jericho

⁴⁶ And they came to Jericho. And as^[a] he was setting out from Jericho along with his disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar, Bartimaeus the son of Timaeus, was sitting beside the road. ⁴⁷ And when he^[b] heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” ⁴⁸ And many people warned him that he should be quiet. But he was crying out even more loudly,^[c] “Son of David, have mercy on me!” ⁴⁹ And Jesus stopped and^[d] said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man and^[e] said to him, “Have courage! Get up! He is calling you.” ⁵⁰ And he threw off his cloak, jumped up, and^[f] came to Jesus. ⁵¹ And Jesus answered him and^[g] said, “What do you want me to do^[h] for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Rabboni,^[i] that I may regain my sight.” ⁵² And Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has healed you.” And immediately he regained his sight and began to follow^[j] him on the road.
