³⁰ And behold, ^(A)two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, ^(B)Son of David!”

Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus^(A)

^46 (B)Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging.

⁴² saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?”

They said to Him, “The ^(A)Son of David.”

¹⁴ Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them.

⁹ Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:

³ concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who ^[a]was ^(A)born of the seed of David according to the flesh, ⁴ and ^(B)declared to be the Son of God with power according ^(C)to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.

³⁰ Therefore, being a prophet, ^(A)and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, ^[a]according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,

A Man Born Blind Receives Sight

9 Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. ² And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, ^(A)who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

³ Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, ^(B)but that the works of God should be revealed in him. ^4 (C)I^[a] must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is ^(D)day; the night is coming when no one can work. ⁵ As long as I am in the world, ^(E)I am the light of the world.”

⁶ When He had said these things, ^(F)He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. ⁷ And He said to him, “Go, wash ^(G)in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So ^(H)he went and washed, and came back seeing.

⁸ Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was ^[b]blind said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?”

⁹ Some said, “This is he.” Others said, ^[c]“He is like him.”

He said, “I am he.”

¹⁰ Therefore they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”

¹¹ He answered and said, ^(I)“A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to ^[d]the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and I received sight.”

¹² Then they said to him, “Where is He?”

He said, “I do not know.”

²¹ And that very hour He cured many of ^[a]infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight.
