35Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging. 36And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 38And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 39Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
