47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, (A)Son of David, (B)have mercy on me!”

48 Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

49 So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called.

50 And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus.

51 So Jesus answered and said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

The blind man said to Him, [a]“Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.”

52 Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; (C)your faith has [b]made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.
