Luke 18:35-43
Chapter 18
35
When Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging.
36
When he heard the crowd passing by, he asked what was happening
37
and they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38
Then he cried out:
“Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39
The people in front of him scolded him, saying:
“Be quiet!” but he shouted even louder:
“Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40
Jesus stopped and ordered the blind man to be brought to him; and when he came near, Jesus asked him:
41
“What do you want me to do for you?”
The man said:
“Lord, that I may see!”
42
Jesus replied:
“Receive your sight; your faith has saved you.”
43
Immediately, the blind man was able to see, and he followed Jesus, praising God. All those who were there also praised God.
