- Then they came to Jericho And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road.
- When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"
- Many were sternly telling him to be quiet, but he kept crying out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
- And Jesus stopped and said, "Call him here." So they called the blind man, saying to him, "Take courage, stand up! He is calling for you."
- Throwing aside his cloak, he jumped up and came to Jesus.

- Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (that is, the Son of Timaeus), was sitting by the roadside begging.
- When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"
- Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
- Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called to the blind man, "Cheer up! On your feet! He's calling you."
- Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.
