Luke 18 verse 35 to 43
35 As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging.
36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. 
37 They told him: “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by".
38 He called out: “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 
39 Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more: “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 
40 Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to Him. When he came near, Jesus asked him: 
41 “What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord, I want to see,” he replied. 
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.”
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God.
