¹² The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.

³⁵ It happened, as he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.

³⁶ Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.

³⁷ They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.

³⁸ He cried out, "Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!"

³⁹ Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "You son of David, have mercy on me!"

⁴⁰ Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,

⁴¹ "What do you want me to do?" He said, "Lord, that I may see again."

⁴² Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you."

⁴³ Immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
