Jesus heals a blind man

Jesus came to the big city of Jericho . As always, many people were following him. On their way in to the city, they passed a blind man who was sitting by the roadside begging. The man's name was Bartimaeus. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called to the blind man, "Cheer up! On your feet! He's calling you." Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. "What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked him. The blind man said, "Rabbi, I want to see." "Go," said Jesus, "your faith has healed you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road, praising God. Mark 10:46-52; Luke 18:43.
