"And they came to

Jericho: and as he

went out of Jericho

with his disciples and

a great number of

people,

blind Bartimaesu,

the son of Timaeus,

sat by the highway

side begging.

And when he heard

that it was Jesus of Nazareth,

he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of

David, have mercy on me. And many charged him

that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the

a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on

me." Luke 10:48
