Healing a Blind Man

18:35 As104 Jesus105 approached106 Jericho,107 a blind man was sitting by the road begging. 18:36 When he heard a crowd going by, he asked what was going on. 18:37 They108 told him, “Jesus the Nazarene is passing by.” 18:38 So109 he called out,110 “Jesus, Son of David,111 have mercy112 on me!” 18:39 And those who were in front113 scolded114 him to get him to be quiet, but he shouted115 even more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 18:40 So116 Jesus stopped and ordered the beggar117 to be brought to him. When the man118 came near, Jesus119 asked him, 18:41 “What do you want me to do for you?” He replied,120 “Lord, let me see again.”121 18:42 Jesus122 said to him, “Receive123 your sight; your faith has healed you.”124 18:43 And immediately he regained125 his sight and followed Jesus,126 praising127 God. When128 all the people saw it, they too129 gave praise to God.
