Therefore the neighbors and those who previously saw him, that he was blind, were saying, "Is not this he who sat and begged?"
And they came to Jericho. And as He was going out from Jericho along with His disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus the blind man, the son of Timaeus, was sitting alongside the road begging.
And when her neighbors and relatives heard how the Lord had shown great mercy to her, they rejoiced with her.
Now it came to pass, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat alongside the road begging.
Some said, "This is he." Others said, "He looks like him." He kept saying, "I am he."
