46 And they come to Jericho, and as he is going forth from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, a son of Timaeus -- Bartimaeus the blind -- was sitting beside the way begging,

47 and having heard that it is Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and to say, The Son of David -- Jesus! deal kindly with me;

48 and many were rebuking him, that he might keep silent, but the more abundantly he cried out, Son of David, deal kindly with me.

49 And Jesus having stood, he commanded him to be called, and they call the blind man, saying to him, Take courage, rise, he doth call thee;

50 and he, having cast away his garment, having risen, did come unto Jesus.

51 And answering, Jesus saith to him, What wilt thou I may do to thee? and the blind man said to him, Rabboni, that I may see again;

52 and Jesus said to him, Go, thy faith hath saved thee: and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.
