Bible Text
[29] As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. [30] Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!" [31] The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, "Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!" [32] Jesus stood still, and called them, and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?" [33] They told him, "Lord, that our eyes may be opened." [34] Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.
