35 When he came near the city of Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road. He was begging for money.

36 He heard many people passing by. He asked, Why are so many people passing here?

37 They told him, Jesus of Nazareth is passing this way.

38 Then he shouted, Jesus, son of David! Help me!

39 The people in front said, Be quiet! But he shouted louder and said, Son of David! Help me!

40 Jesus stopped and said, Bring him here. When the man came close, Jesus asked him, What do you want me to do for you?

41 The man said, Sir, I want to see.

42 Jesus said, You can see now. You are healed because you believed.

43 Right then he was able to see. He went with Jesus and he praised God. All the people saw it and they all praised God too.
