They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.
As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,
The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
He entered and was passing through Jericho.
Therefore the neighbours and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”
