*
They came to Jericho .
As he went out from Jericho ,
with his disciples and a great multitude ,
the son of Timaeus ,
Bartimaeus ,
a blind beggar ,
was sitting by the road .
*
When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene ,
he began to cry out ,
and say , "
Jesus ,
you son of David ,
have mercy on me !"
*
Many rebuked him ,
that he should be quiet ,
but he cried out much more , "
You son of David ,
have mercy on me !"
*
Jesus stood still ,
and said , "
Call him ."
They called the blind man ,
saying to him , "
Cheer up !
Get up .
He is calling you !"
*
He ,
casting away his cloak ,
sprang up ,
and came to Jesus .
*
Jesus asked him , "
What do you want me to do for you ?"
The blind man said to him , "
Rabboni , {
Rabboni is a transliteration of the Hebrew word for "
great teacher ."}
that I may see again ."
*
Jesus said to him , "
Go your way .
Your faith has made you well ."
Immediately he received his sight ,
and followed Jesus in the way .
