Bartimaeus Regains His Sight

^46 (A)Then they *came to Jericho. And ^(B)as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road. ⁴⁷ And when he heard that it was Jesus the ^(C)Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, ^(D)Son of David, have mercy on me!” ⁴⁸ And many were sternly telling him to be quiet, but he kept crying out all the more, “^(E)Son of David, have mercy on me!” ⁴⁹ And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him here.” So they *called the blind man, saying to him, “^(F)Take courage, get up! He is calling for you.” ⁵⁰ And throwing off his outer garment, he jumped up and came to Jesus. ⁵¹ And Jesus answered him and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” And the blind man said to Him, “^[a](G)Rabboni, I want to regain my sight!” ⁵² And Jesus said to him, “Go; ^(H)your faith has ^[b]saved you.” Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him on the road.
