*
As Jesus came near to Jericho ,
there was a blind man sitting by the way-side begging .
*
He heard a crowd of people going past ,
and inquired what it all meant .
* »
Jesus the Nazarene is passing by ,«
they told him .
*
Then ,
at the top of his voice ,
he cried out , »
Jesus ,
son of David ,
take pity on me .«
*
Those in front reproved him and tried to silence him ;
but he continued shouting ,
louder than ever , »
Son of David ,
take pity on me .«
*
At length Jesus stopped and desired them to bring the man to Him ;
and when he had come close to Him He asked him ,
* »
What shall I do for you ?« »
Sir ,«
he replied , »
let me recover my sight .«
* »
Recover your sight ,«
said Jesus :»
your faith has cured you .«
*
No sooner were the words spoken than the man regained his sight and followed Jesus ,
giving glory to God ;
and all the people ,
seeing it ,
gave praise to God .
