46 They came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, 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 shout, |Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!| 48 Many scolded him to get him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, |Son of David, have mercy on me!| 49 Jesus stopped and said, |Call him.| So they called the blind man and said to him, |Have courage! Get up! He is calling you.| 50 He threw off his cloak, jumped up, and came to Jesus. 51 Then Jesus said to him, |What do you want me to do for you?| The blind man replied, |Rabbi, let me see again.| 52 Jesus said to him, |Go, your faith has healed you.| Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the road.
