46 And they went to Jericho. And as he was setting out from Jericho with his disciples and a very numerous multitude, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind man, sat begging beside the way.
47 And when he had heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and to say, "Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me."
48 And many admonished him to be quiet. But he cried out all the more, "Son of David, take pity on me."
49 And Jesus, standing still, instructed him to be called. And they called the blind man, saying to him: "Be at peace. Arise. He is calling you."
50 And casting aside his garment, he leapt up and went to him.
51 And in response, Jesus said to him, "What do you want, that I should do for you?" And the blind man said to him, "Master, that I may see."
52 Then Jesus said to him, "Go, your faith has made you whole." And immediately he saw, and he followed him on the way.
