Luke 18:35-43 Now later, during the situation for Him to draw near unto Jericho, it happened that a certain blind man was by habit sitting beside the road (path; way), periodically begging (asking for something).

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁵ Now later, during the [situation for] Him to draw near unto Jericho, it happened [that] a certain blind man was by habit sitting beside the road (path; way), periodically begging (asking for something). ³⁶ So upon hearing [the noise] of a crowd progressively passing through, he began inquiring to find out what this might be (= what was happening and what it might mean). ³⁷ Now they explained (or: reported) to him that Jesus, the Nazarene, is presently passing by. ³⁸ Then he at once called out loudly (or: cried out imploringly), "Jesus! O Son of David, mercy me (do that which will bring mercy to me)!" ³⁹ And then those in the lead, who continued preceding the group, began respectfully but sternly giving admonition to him so that he would be silent and keep still. However, he himself kept on shouting louder than ever, "Son of David, mercy me!" ⁴⁰ So then, being brought to a standstill, Jesus set [them] in motion by urging him to be at once led (or: brought) toward Him. So, at his drawing near, He asked him, ⁴¹ "What are you wanting or intending that I should do for you?" So he said, "O Lord (or: Master), that I could see again." ⁴² Then Jesus said to him, "At once see again! Your trust and faith has healed and made you whole (saved and rescued you [from that condition]) so that you are now restored to your original condition." ⁴³ And at that very moment, and with usefulness, he saw again. And so he began to follow Him, repeatedly glorifying God, and progressively enhancing God's reputation. Then all the people – at seeing [it] – gave praise to God.
