The blind man at Jericho
Mark 10:46-52
46And they come to Jericho. And as he was leaving from Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting beside the road. 47And hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me!” 48And many were rebuking him, telling him to be silent; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they call the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart; get up, he is calling you.” 50And he, throwing off his cloak, sprang up and came to Jesus. 51And answering him, Jesus said, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Rabbouni, let me see again.” 52And Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has made you well.” And at once he regained his sight and was following him on the way.
29And as they were going out from Jericho, a large crowd followed him. 30And look, two blind men sitting beside the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” 31But the crowd rebuked them so that they would be silent; but they cried out louder, saying, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” 32And Jesus stopped, called them, and said, “What do you want me to do for you?” 33They say to him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.” 34And Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes, and at once they regained their sight and followed him.
35And it happened, as he was drawing near to Jericho, that a certain blind man was sitting beside the road begging. 36And hearing a crowd going by, he asked what this might be. 37And they told him, “Jesus the Nazarene is passing by.” 38And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 39And those who were going ahead were rebuking him so that he would be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 40And Jesus, stopping, ordered him to be brought to him. And when he had come near, he asked him, 41“What do you want me to do for you?” And he said, “Lord, that I may regain my sight.” 42And Jesus said to him, “Regain your sight; your faith has made you well.” 43And immediately he regained his sight and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, seeing it, gave praise to God.
Jericho
Today: Jericho (Ariha), West Bank
A city in the Jordan valley, about 15 miles (25 km) northeast of Jerusalem and not far from the river.
It was the first city Israel took in Canaan; its walls fell (Josh 6:20). Centuries later Jesus passed through Jericho and saved Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10).
45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
