| 35 | As he drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging; |
| 36 | and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant. |
| 37 | They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by." |
| 38 | And he cried, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" |
| 39 | And those who were in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" |
| 40 | And Jesus stopped, and commanded him to be brought to him; and when he came near, he asked him, |
| 41 | "What do you want me to do for you?" He said, "Lord, let me receive my sight." |
| 42 | And Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well." |
| 43 | And immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God; and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God. |
