As Jesus was approaching Jericho, a man who was blind was sitting by the side of the road begging.
His neighbors and the people who used to watch him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?”
Jesus then entered Jericho and started to pass through the city.
A man who hadn’t been able to walk his whole life was being carried to the Beautiful Gate of the temple. Every day someone put him near the gate so he could beg from the people who were going into the temple courtyards.
As he scattered it, some fell on a path and the birds came and ate it up.
The man heard the crowd going by and asked what was happening.
