THE TWO BLIND MEN.ToC
When Jesus had left the house of the ruler Jairus, there followed Him two
blind men. They called out to Him, "Thou Son of David, have mercy upon us."
Then Jesus looked at them, and asked if they really believed that He had
power to cure them and give them back their sight. And they said unto Him,
"Yea, Lord." Then He touched their eyes, and said unto them, "According to
your faith, so be it unto you." And immediately they opened their eyes and were
able to see. Jesus charged them to let no man know what He had done. But when
they were departed they spread His fame abroad over all that country.
Another time Christ and His disciples were coming away from Jericho,
followed by a large crowd of people. And there was sitting by the wayside a
blind beggar, Bartimeus by name; and when he heard the noise of the multitude,
he asked what it meant. They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by."
Then he cried out in a loud voice, saying, "Jesus, Thou Son of David, have
mercy on me." The people tried to keep him from calling out, but he would not
be quiet. He was determined that Christ should see him. And Jesus stood still,
and commanded them to call him. So he arose and cast away his outer garment
and came to Jesus. When Jesus asked what he would have done to him, he
answered, "Lord, that I might receive my sight." And Jesus said unto him, "Go
thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole." And he received his sight at once, and
followed Jesus, praising Him.
