Mark 10:46-52

Bible Text

[46] 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. [47] 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!" [48] Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, "You son of David, have mercy on me!" [49] Jesus stood still, and said, "Call him." They called the blind man, saying to him, "Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!" [50] He, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus. [51] Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "Rhabboni, that I may see again." [52] Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your faith has made you well." Immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

Jericho, an oasis city east of Jerusalem near the Jordan Valley, is where Jesus heals Bartimaeus while traveling toward Jerusalem, where his final confrontation and crucifixion await
