JERICHO, 1. A city east of Jerusalem and near the Jordan River
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.
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.
