35 Now it occurred at His nearing Jericho, that a certain blind man, a mendicant sat beside the road."
36 Now, hearing a throng going through, he ascertained what this may be."
37 Now they report to him that Jesus, the Nazarene, is passing by."
38 And he implores, saying, "Jesus, Son of David, be merciful to me!"
39 And those preceding rebuked him, that he should be silent. Yet he much the more cried, "Jesus, Son of David, be merciful to me!"
40 Now standing still, Jesus orders him to be led to Him. Now at his drawing near, He inquires of him,
41 What are you wanting I shall be doing to you?Now he said, "Lord, that I should be receiving sight!"
42 And Jesus said to him, "Receive sight! Your faith has saved you."
43 And instantly he receives sight and followed Him, glorifying God. And the entire people, perceiving it, give praise to God."
