Contemporary English Version

Jesus Heals Two Blind Men

²⁷As Jesus was leaving that place, two blind men began following him and shouting, “Son of David,^[a] have pity on us!”

²⁸After Jesus had gone indoors, the two blind men came up to him. He asked them, “Do you believe I can make you well?”

“Yes, Lord,” they answered.

²⁹Jesus touched their eyes and said, “Because of your faith, you will be healed.” ³⁰They were able to see, and Jesus strictly warned them not to tell anyone about him. ³¹But they left and talked about him to everyone in that part of the country.
