35

And it came to pass, as he drew nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

36

and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant.

37

And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

38

And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

39

And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

40

And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,

41

What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

42

And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight thy faith hath made thee whole.

43

And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
