Luke 18:32-43 ▼

32 For he will be delivered up to the non-Jews, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.

33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.|

34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.

35 It happened, as he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.

36 Hearing a crowd going by, he asked what this meant.

37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.

38 He called out, |Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.|

39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he shouted all the more, |Son of David, have mercy on me.|

40 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,

41 |What do you want me to do?| He said, |Lord, that I may see again.|

42 Jesus said to him, |Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.|

43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
