10 ⁴⁶ They came to Jericho; and as he was leaving the town, with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was seated at the roadside. 10 ⁴⁷ Hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, 'Son of David, Jesus, have pity on me!' 10 ⁴⁸ Many of the people rounded on him: 'Be quiet', they said; but he shouted all the more, 'Son of David, have pity on me.' 10 ⁴⁹ Jesus stopped and said, 'Call him'; so they called the blind man and said, 'Take heart; stand up; he is calling you.' 10 ⁵⁰ At that he threw off his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus. 10 ⁵¹ Jesus said to him, 'What do you want me to do for you?' 'Master,' the blind man answered, 'I want my sight back.' 10 ⁵² Jesus said to him, 'Go; your faith has cured you.' And at once he recovered his sight and followed him on the road.
