Mark 10:46-52 ▼

46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus, his disciples, and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus (that is, the son of Timaeus) was sitting by the road.

47 When he heard that Jesus of Nazareth was there, he began to shout, |Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!|

48 Many people sternly told him to be quiet, but he started shouting even louder, |Son of David, have mercy on me!|

49 So Jesus stopped and said, |Call him!| So they called the blind man and told him, |Have courage! Get up. He's calling you.|

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

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

52 Jesus told him, |Go. Your faith has made you well.| At once the man could see again, and he began to follow Jesus down the road.
