As Jesus
was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a sizable crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind
man, the son of Timaeus, sat by the roadside begging. On hearing that it was
Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, son of David, have pity
on me.”
And many
rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he kept calling out all the more,
“Son of David, have pity on me.” Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they
called the blind man, saying to him, “Take courage; get up, Jesus is calling
you.”
He threw
aside his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus. Jesus said to him in reply,
“What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man replied to him, “Master, I
want to see.” Jesus told him, “Go your way; your faith has saved you.” Immediately
he received his sight and followed him on the way.
