Luke. CH. XVIII. 35-43. CH. XIX. 1. 35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh(226) unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the wayside begging; 36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. 37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, _thou_ son of David, have mercy on me. 39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, _Thou_ son of David, have mercy on me. 40 And Jesus stood and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, 41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee?
