Mark 10:46-52

Bartimaeus Regains His Sight

46 ^aThen they *came to Jericho. And ^bas He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus the ^aNazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, ^bSon of David, have mercy on me!” 48 And many were sternly telling him to be quiet, but he kept crying out all the more, “^aSon of David, have mercy on me!” 49 And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him here.” So they *called the blind man, saying to him, “^aTake courage, get up! He is calling for you.” 50 And throwing off his outer garment, he jumped up and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus answered him and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” And the blind man said to Him, “¹^aRabboni, I want to regain my sight!” 52 And Jesus said to him, “Go; ^ayour faith has ¹saved you.” Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him on the road.

35 ^aNow it happened that as ¹^bJesus was approaching Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging. 36 Now hearing a crowd going by, he began to inquire what this was. 37 They reported to him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” 38 And he called out, saying, “Jesus, ^aSon of David, have mercy on me!” 39 And those who went ahead were rebuking him so that he would be quiet, but he kept crying out all the more, “^aSon of David, have mercy on me!” 40 And Jesus stopped and commanded that he be brought to Him, and when he came near, He questioned him, 41 “What do you want Me to do for you?” And he said, “Lord, I want to regain my sight!” 42 And Jesus said to him, “¹Receive your sight; ^ayour faith has ²saved you.” 43 Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him, ^aglorifying God.
