1. Then they came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road.
When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David have mercy on me!"
Many where sternly telling him to be quiet, but he kept crying out all the more, "son of David, have mercy on me!"
And Jesus stopped and said "call him here" So they called the blind man, saying to him, "Take courage, stand up! He is calling for you,"
Throwing aside his cloak, he jumped up and came to Jesus.
And answering him, Jesus said, "What do you want Me to do for you?" and the blind man said to him, "Rabboni, I want to regain my sight!"
And Jesus said to him, "Go, your faith has made you well," Immediately he regained his sight and began to follow Him on the road.
Mark 10:46-52
2. As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him.
And two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"
The crowd sternly told them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on Us!
And Jesus stopped and called them, and said, "What do you want Me to do for you?"
They said to Him, "Lord, we want our eyes to be opened,"
Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.
Matthew 20:29-34
3. As Jesus was approaching Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging.
Now hearing the crowd going by, he began to inquire what this was.
They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
And he called out saying, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"
Those who led the way were sternly telling him to be quiet; but he kept crying out all the more. "Son of David have mercy on me!"
And Jesus stopped and commanded that he be brought to Him; and when he came near, He questioned him,
"What do you want Me to do for you?" and he said, "Lord, I want to regain my sight!"
And Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well,"
Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him, glorifying God; and when all the people saw it, they gave praise to God.
Luke 18:35-43
I'll leave you to discover for yourself the exquisiteness of similarity of these three passages. Praying that you find the jewels as I did and even more.
