And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, \u201cJesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!\u201d And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent; but he cried out all the more, \u201cSon of David, have mercy on me!\u201d And Jesus stopped and said, \u201cCall him.\u201d And they called the blind man, saying to him, \u201cTake heart; rise, he is calling you.\u201d And throwing off his mantle he sprang up and came to Jesus.
