Mark 10:46-52 ▼

46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus, his disciples, and many people were leaving Jericho, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road.

47 When he heard that Jesus from Nazareth [was passing by], he began to shout, |Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!|

48 The people told him to be quiet. But he shouted even louder, |Son of David, have mercy on me!|

49 Jesus stopped and said, |Call him!| They called the blind man and told him, |Cheer up! Get up! He's calling you.|

50 The blind man threw off his coat, jumped up, and went to Jesus.

51 Jesus asked him, |What do you want me to do for you?| The blind man said, |Teacher, I want to see again.|

52 Jesus told him, |Go, your faith has made you well.| At once he could see again, and he followed Jesus on the road.
