29aAnd as they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him.
30And behold, two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus *was passing by, cried out, saying, “Lord, ahave mercy on us, bSon of David!”
31But the crowd sternly told them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more, saying, “Lord, aSon of David, have mercy on us!”
32And Jesus stopped and called them, and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
33They *said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes be opened.”
34And moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.

As Jesus and the disciples left the town of Jericho, a large crowd followed behind. Two blind men were sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was coming that way, they began shouting, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
“Be quiet!” the crowd yelled at them.
But they only shouted louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
When Jesus heard them, he stopped and called, “What do you want me to do for you?”
“Lord,” they said, “we want to see!” Jesus felt sorry for them and touched their eyes. Instantly they could see! Then they followed him.

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

KJV 1900King James Version
And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you? They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
