Mark 10:46-52 ▼

46 They came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus ), a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.

47 When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, “ Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me! ”

48 Many people told him to keep quiet, but he was crying out all the more , “ Have mercy on me, Son of David! ”

49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man and said to him, “ Have courage! Get up; He’s calling for you.”

50 He threw off his coat, jumped up, and came to Jesus.

51 Then Jesus answered him, “What do you want Me to do for you? ” “Rabbouni,” the blind man told Him, “ I want to see! ”

52 “Go your way ,” Jesus told him. “Your faith has healed you.” Immediately he could see and began to follow Him on the road.
