Jesus Heals a Blind Beggar
(Matthew 20.29-34; Mark 10.46-52)
35When Jesus was coming close to Jericho, a blind man sat begging beside the road. 36The man heard the crowd walking by and asked what was happening. 37Some people told him that Jesus from Nazareth was passing by. 38So the blind man shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!” 39The people who were going along with Jesus told the man to be quiet. But he shouted even louder, “Son of David, have pity on me!”
40Jesus stopped and told some people to bring the blind man over to him. When the blind man was getting near, Jesus asked, 41“What do you want me to do for you?”
“Lord, I want to see!” he answered.
42Jesus replied, “Look and you will see! Your eyes are healed because of your faith.” 43At once the man could see, and he went with Jesus and started thanking God. When the crowds saw what happened, they praised God.

35As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind beggar was sitting beside the road. 36When he heard the noise of a crowd going past, he asked what was happening. 37They told him that Jesus the Nazarene was going by. 38So he began shouting, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39“Be quiet!” the people in front yelled at him.
But he only shouted louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40When Jesus heard him, he stopped and ordered that the man be brought to him. As the man came near, Jesus asked him, 41“What do you want me to do for you?”
“Lord,” he said, “I want to see!”
42And Jesus said, “All right, receive your sight! Your faith has healed you.” 43Instantly the man could see, and he followed Jesus, praising God. And all who saw it praised God, too.

38He called out, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!’
39Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, ‘Son of David, have mercy on me!’
40Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, 41‘What do you want me to do for you?’
‘Lord, I want to see,’ he replied.
