(147) Two Blind Men Healed at Jericho
Matthew 20:29-34, Mark 10:46-52, Luke 18:35-43
[A]Now it came to pass that they came to Jericho. He left Jericho with His disciples, with a great number of people following Him. And look, as He approached the other Jericho, two blind men were sitting by the roadside begging. One of them was Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus.
Hearing the great multitude, they asked what it all meant. And the crowd told them that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. When they heard this, they began crying out, saying, “O Lord Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on us.”
[B]Many in the crowd rebuked them, telling them to be quiet. But they wouldn’t and cried out even more, saying, “O Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.”
[C]Jesus stopped and commanded that they be brought to Him. So they called the blind men, saying, “Cheer up and arise. He is calling you.”
Bartimaeus, throwing aside his garment, rose up and came to Jesus, along with the other man. And Jesus asked them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
“Lord, open our eyes,” they said, “so that we may see.”
[D]So Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. “Receive your sight and go your way,” He said. “Your faith has saved you and made you well.”
They immediately received their sight and followed Him along the road, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, praised God.

29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. 30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. 31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. 32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you? 33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. 34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. 50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. 52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: 36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. 37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, 41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee?
