Passage:
Mark 10:46-52*
46. And they came to
Jericho. And as He was going out from Jericho with His
disciples and a great multitude, a blind beggar
[named] Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was
sitting by the road.
47. And when he heard that it
was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say,
"Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"
48. And many were sternly
telling him to be quiet, but he kept crying out all
the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
49. And Jesus stopped and said,
"Call him [here.]" And they called the blind
man, saying to him, "Take courage, arise! He is
calling for you."
50. And casting aside his cloak,
he jumped up, and came to Jesus.
51. And answering him, Jesus
said, "What do you want Me to do for you?" And the
blind man said to Him, "Rabboni, [I want] to
regain my sight!"
52. And Jesus said to him, "Go
your way; your faith has made you well." And
immediately he regained his sight and [began]
following Him on the road.
