²⁹ As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Yeshua. ³⁰ Two blind men were sitting by the road. When they heard that Yeshua was passing by, they shouted, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”

³¹ The crowd told them to be quiet. But they shouted even louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”

³² Yeshua stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.

³³ They told him, “Lord, we want you to give us our eyesight back.”

Jesus Gives Sight to a Blind Man^(A)

³⁵ As Yeshua came near Jericho, a blind man was sitting and begging by the road. ³⁶ When he heard the crowd going by, he tried to find out what was happening. ³⁷ The people told him that Yeshua from Nazareth was passing by. ³⁸ Then the blind man shouted, “Yeshua, Son of David, have mercy on me!” ³⁹ The people at the front of the crowd told the blind man to be quiet. But he shouted even louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁰ Yeshua stopped and ordered them to bring the man to him. When the man came near, Yeshua asked him, ⁴¹ “What do you want me to do for you?”

The blind man said, “Lord, I want to see again.”

⁴² Yeshua told him, “Receive your sight! Your faith has made you well.” ⁴³ Immediately, he could see again. He followed Yeshua and praised God. All the people saw this, and they, too, praised God.
