Two Blind Men Receive Their Sight(A)
29 (B)Now as they went out of Jericho, a great multitude followed Him. 30 And behold, (C)two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, (D)Son of David!”
31 Then the multitude (E)warned them that they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!”
32 So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
33 They said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.” 34 So Jesus had (F)compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.

Two Blind Men Healed at Jericho
29 And as[a] they were going out of Jericho, a large crowd followed him. 30 And behold, there were two blind men sitting beside the road. When they[b] heard that Jesus was passing by, they called out, saying, “Lord, have mercy on us,[c] Son of David!” 31 And the crowd rebuked them so that they would be quiet. But they called out all the more, saying, “Lord, have mercy on us,[d] Son of David!” 32 And Jesus stopped,[e] called them, and said, “What do you want me to do for you?” 33 They said to him, “Lord, that our eyes be opened!” 34 And having compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately they received their sight and followed him.
