⁴⁶ And they come to Jericho, and as he is going forth from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, a son of Timaeus -- Bartimaeus the blind -- was sitting beside the way begging,

²⁹ And they going forth from Jericho, there followed him a great multitude,

³⁰ and lo, two blind men sitting by the way, having heard that Jesus doth pass by, cried, saying, `Deal kindly with us, sir -- Son of David.'

³¹ And the multitude charged them that they might be silent, and they cried out the more, saying, `Deal kindly with us sir -- Son of David.'

³² And having stood, Jesus called them, and said, `What will ye `that' I may do to you?'

³³ they say to him, `Sir, that our eyes may be opened;'

³⁴ and having been moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

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

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

³⁷ and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth pass by,

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

³⁹ 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 And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto him, and he having come nigh, he questioned him,

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

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

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

¹ And having entered, he was passing through Jericho,

⁸ the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, `Is not this he who is sitting and begging?'

²⁰ and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,

²² `And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers to the bosom of Abraham -- and the rich man also died, and was buried;

² and a certain man, being lame from the womb of his mother, was being carried, whom they were laying every day at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask a kindness from those entering into the temple,

³ who, having seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, was begging to receive a kindness.
