Matthew 20:29-34

New International Reader's Version

Two Blind Men Receive Their Sight

²⁹ Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho. A large crowd followed him. ³⁰ Two blind men were sitting by the side of the road. They heard that Jesus was going by. So they shouted, “Lord! Son of David! Have mercy on us!”

³¹ The crowd commanded them to stop. They told them to be quiet. But the two men shouted even louder, “Lord! Son of David! Have mercy on us!”

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

³³ “Lord,” they answered, “we want to be able to see.”

³⁴ Jesus felt deep concern for them. He touched their eyes. Right away they could see. And they followed him.
