Lalu tibalah Yesus dan murid-murid-Nya di Yerikho. Dan ketika Yesus keluar dari Yerikho, bersama-sama dengan murid-murid-Nya dan orang banyak yang berbondong-bondong, ada seorang pengemis yang buta, bernama Bartimeus, anak Timeus, duduk di pinggir jalan.
Ketika didengarnya, bahwa itu adalah Yesus orang Nazaret, mulailah ia berseru: "Yesus, Anak Daud, kasihanilah aku!"
Banyak orang menegornya supaya ia diam. Namun semakin keras ia berseru: "Anak Daud, kasihanilah aku!"
Lalu Yesus berhenti dan berkata: "Panggillah dia!" Mereka memanggil orang buta itu dan berkata kepadanya: "Kuatkan hatimu, berdirilah, Ia memanggil engkau."
Lalu ia menanggalkan jubahnya, ia segera berdiri dan pergi mendapatkan Yesus.
Tanya Yesus kepadanya: "Apa yang kaukehendaki supaya Aku perbuat bagimu?" Jawab orang buta itu: "Rabuni, supaya aku dapat melihat!"
Lalu kata Yesus kepadanya: "Pergilah, imanmu telah menyelamatkan engkau!" Pada saat itu juga melihatlah ia, lalu ia mengikuti Yesus dalam perjalanan-Nya.

They came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.
When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Many scolded him to get him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man and said to him, “Have courage! Get up! He is calling you.”
He threw off his cloak, jumped up, and came to Jesus.
Then Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man replied, “Rabbi, let me see again.”
Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has healed you.” Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the road.
