48 Many of the people kept telling him to be quiet; but the man continued to call out all the louder: "Son of David, take pity on me."
49 Then Jesus stopped. "Call him," he said. So they called the blind man. "Courage!" they exclaimed. "Get up; he is calling you."
50 The man threw off his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.
51 "What do you want me to do for you?" said Jesus, addressing him. "Rabboni," the blind man answered, "I want to recover my sight."
52 "You may go," Jesus said; "your faith has delivered you." Immediately he recovered his sight, and began to follow Jesus along the road.
