^{35 Ref} And it came to pass, in his coming nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,

^{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;'

^{39 Ref} and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was much more crying out, `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.
