From the Gospel according to Mark (10, 46 – 52)

At that time, while Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd, the son of Timèo, Bartimaeus, who was blind, was sitting by the road begging. Hearing that he was Jesus Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me!”
Many scolded him to keep him silent, but he cried out even louder: “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Jesus stopped and said: «Call him!». They called the blind man, saying: «Courage! Get up, he calls you! ». He threw off his cloak, jumped up and came to Jesus.

Then Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man answered him, “Rabbi, may I see again!” And Jesus said to him: “Go, your faith has saved you”. And immediately he saw again and followed him along the road.
