35 As he drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging.
36 And hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
37 They told him, »Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.«
38 And he cried out, »Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!«
39 And those who led the way rebuked him, telling him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, »Son of David, have mercy on me!«
40 So 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, I want to 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.
