Luke 18:35-42

Christian Standard Bible

A Blind Man Receives His Sight

³⁵ As^(A) he approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging. ³⁶ Hearing a crowd passing by, he inquired what was happening. ³⁷ “Jesus of Nazareth^(B) is passing by,” they told him.

³⁸ So he called out,^(C) “Jesus, Son of David,^(D) have mercy^(E) on me!” ³⁹ Then those in front told him to keep quiet,^[a] but he kept crying out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁰ Jesus stopped and commanded that he be brought to him. When he came closer, he asked him, ⁴¹ “What do you want me to do for you?”

“Lord,” he said, “I want to see.”

⁴² “Receive your sight,”^(F) Jesus told him. “Your faith has saved you.”^(G)
