^{38 Ref} And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

^{41 Ref} What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

^{36 Ref} and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,

^{37 Ref} and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth pass by,

^{38 Ref} and he cried out, saying, `Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;'

^{40 Ref} And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto him, and he having come nigh, he questioned him,

^{41 Ref} saying, `What wilt thou I shall do to thee?' and he said, `Sir, that I may receive sight.'

^{42 Ref} And Jesus said to him, `Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;'

^{43 Ref} and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God.

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

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

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

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