35And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: 36And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. 37And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 38And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. 39And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. 40And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, 41Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 42And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. 43And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

Luke 18:35-43 KJV King James Version

35 As He was approaching Jericho [on His way to Jerusalem], it happened that a blind man was sitting beside the road begging. 36Now when he heard a crowd going by, he began to ask what this was [about]. 37They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” 38So he shouted out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David (Messiah), have mercy on me!” 39Those who were leading the way were sternly telling him to keep quiet; but he screamed all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 40Then Jesus stopped and ordered that the blind man be led to Him; and when he came near, Jesus asked him, 41“What do you want Me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me regain my sight!” 42Jesus said to him, “Regain your sight; your [personal trust and confident] faith [in Me] has made you well.” 43Immediately he regained his sight and began following Jesus, glorifying and praising and honoring God. And all the people, when they saw it, praised God.
