Then they came to the town of Jericho. As Jesus was leaving there with his followers and a great many people, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus son of Timaeus was sitting by the road.
While he was planting, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and ate it all up.
And a very poor man named Lazarus, whose body was covered with sores, was laid at the rich man’s gate.
Later, Lazarus died, and the angels carried him to the arms of Abraham. The rich man died, too, and was buried.
As Jesus came near the city of Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
Jesus was going through the city of Jericho.
The neighbors and some people who had earlier seen this man begging said, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?”
