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.
Luke 18:35-43
A blind beggar receives his sight
35As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. 37They told him, ‘Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.’
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.
42Jesus said to him, ‘Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.’ 43Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God.
