35And it came about that when he got near Jericho, a certain blind man was seated by the side of the road, making requests for money from those who went by.
36And hearing the sound of a great number of people going by, he said, What is this?
37And they said to him, Jesus of Nazareth is going by.
38And he said in a loud voice, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
39And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O Son of David, have mercy on me.
40And Jesus, stopping, gave orders that he was to come to him, and when he came near, he said to him,
41What would you have me do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may be able to see again.
