Gospel: Luke 18:35-43

³⁵ As he drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging;
³⁶ and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant.
³⁷ They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”
³⁸ And he cried, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
³⁹ And those who were in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
⁴⁰ And Jesus stopped, and commanded him to be brought to him; and when he came near, he asked him,
⁴¹ ”What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me receive my sight.”
⁴² And Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has made you well.”
⁴³ And immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God; and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
