46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples left Jericho, many people followed him. A blind man named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road. He was begging for money.
47 He heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing. So he shouted, Jesus, Son of David! Help me!
48 Many people said, Be quiet! But he shouted louder, Son of David! Help me!
49 Jesus stopped and said, Call him. They called the blind man and said to him, Be glad! Come, get up! He is calling you.
50 The man threw off his coat, jumped up, and went to Jesus.
51 Jesus said, What do you want me to do for you? The blind man said to him, Teacher, I want to see.
52 Jesus said, Go home. Because you believe in me, your faith has made you well. Right then he was able to see. He followed Jesus on the road.
