And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call
the blind man, saying unto him, "Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth
thee." And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, "What wilt thou that I should do
unto thee?"
The blind man said unto him, "Lord, that I might receive my sight."
And Jesus said unto him, "Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole."
And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
CHAPTER XI
HE THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at
the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith
unto them:
"Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be
entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat;
loose him, and bring him. And if any man say unto you, 'Why do ye

"Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: blessed be

Hosanna in the highest."
And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple; and when he had
looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he

And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: and
seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might
find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but
