Context of Mark 10:50
48The people told him to be quiet. But he shouted even louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49Jesus stopped and said, “Call him!” They called the blind man and told him, “Cheer up! Get up! He’s calling you.” The 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.” 52Jesus told him, “Go, your faith has made you well.” At once he could see again, and he followed Jesus on the road.
