4 And instantly the man cried out, Lord Jesus, son of David, stay! have mercy on poor blind Bartimæus!
5 The people said to him, Be quiet; hold your peace.
6 But blind Bartimæus called again, Thou son of David, hear! have mercy on poor blind Bartimæus!
7 And Jesus stopped and said, Bring him to me.
8 And then the people brought the blind man to the Lord, and as they brought him up they said, Be cheerful now, Bartimæus, the Lord is calling you.
9 And then he threw his cloak aside, and ran to Jesus as he waited by the way.
10 And Jesus said, What will you have, Bartimæus?
11 The blind man said, Rabboni, open up mine eyes that I may see.
12 And Jesus said, Bartimæus, look up; receive your sight; your faith has made you whole.
13 And he at once received his sight, and from the fullness of his heart he said, Praise God.
