[10:46] They came to Jericho, and as Jesus was leaving with his disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus son of Timaeus was sitting by the road.
[10:47] When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus! Son of David! Have mercy on me!”
[10:48] Many of the people scolded him and told him to be quiet. But he shouted even more loudly, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
[10:49] Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man. “Cheer up!” they said. “Get up, he is calling you.”
[10:50] So he threw off his cloak, jumped up, and came to Jesus.
[10:51] “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. “Teacher,” the blind man answered, “I want to see again.”
[10:52] “Go,” Jesus told him, “your faith has made you well.” At once he was able to see and followed Jesus on the road.
