But he shouted even louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stopped and said, “Call him!” They called the blind man and told him, “Cheer up! Get up! He’s calling you.” 50The blind man threw off his coat, jumped up, and went to Jesus. 51Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said, “Teacher, I want to see again.”
