1272701 Blind man healed near Jericho – Matthew 20:29-34, Mark 10:46-52, Luke 18:35-43, A.D. 29 Jericho
And they came to Jericho. It happened, as he came near Jericho and as they went out from Jericho with his disciples, a great multitude followed him. And behold, two blind men one of which was the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, sitting by the road, begging. Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant. And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. When they heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, passing by, he began to cry out and say, “Lord Jesus, have mercy on us, you son of David!” And the multitude who led the way rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!” And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be brought to him and said, “Call him.” And they called them, saying to him, “Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!” And he, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus. And when he had come near, Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” They said to him, “Lord, Rabboni, that our eyes may be opened and that I may see again.” And Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes and said to him, “Receive your sight. Go your way. Your faith has made you well.” And immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed Jesus glorifying God in the way. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
