46 Jesus and his disciples passed through Jericho, and as they were leaving town, accompanied by a large crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting at the roadside.47 When he heard it was Jesus of Nazareth, he started shouting out, “Jesus, son of David, please have mercy on me!”48 Lots of people told him to be quiet, but that only made him shout even more, “Jesus, son of David, please have mercy on me!”

49 Jesus stopped, and said, “Tell him to come here.” So they called him over, telling him, “Good news! Get up. He's calling for you.”50 Bartimaeus jumped up, threw off his coat, and rushed over to Jesus.

51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.

“Teacher,” he said to Jesus, “I want to see!”

52 “You can go. Your trust in me has healed you.” Immediately Bartimaeus could see and he followed Jesus as he went on his way.
