35 And while he was yet nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging.

36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked, what it meant?

37 And they told him, Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

38 And he cried aloud saying, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

39 And they that went before charged him to hold his peace; but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

40 And Jesus standing still, commanded him to be brought to him: and when he was come near,

41 he asked him, Saying, What wilt thou that I should do for thee? He said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

42 And Jesus said to him, Receive thy sight, thy faith hath saved thee.

43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: And all the people seeing it gave praise to God.
