And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
And he cried, saying, Jesus, [thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.
And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, [Thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.
And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
Saying, ‹What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee?› And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
And Jesus said unto him, ‹Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.›
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw [it], gave praise unto God.
