When he came near
Jericho, there was a blind man sitting there by the way side
begging. And he, hearing a multitude passing by, asked what
it meant. So they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth as going
past. Whereupon he cried out, Jesus, son of David, have pity
on me. Those who were in front rebuked him, and told him to
be silent, but he cried out all the more, Son of David, have
pity on me. Then Jesus stopped, and gave orders that the man
should be brought to him; and when he came close he asked him,
What wouldst thou have me do for thee. Lord, he said, give me
back my sight. Jesus said to him, Receive thy sight; thy faith
has brought thee recovery. And at once the man recovered his
sight, and followed him, glorifying God; all people too, gave
praise to God at seeing it. |
