Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging.
Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging.
Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?”
So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate,
And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them.
Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
