45. “For even the Son of Aḏam did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
46. And they came to Yeriḥo. And as He was leaving Yeriḥo with His taught ones and a large crowd, blind Bartimai, the son of Timai, was sitting by the way begging.
47. And when he heard that it was יהושע of Natsareth, he began to cry out and to say, “יהושע, Son of Dawiḏ, have compassion on me!”
48. And many were reprimanding him to be silent, but he cried out all the more, “Son of Dawiḏ, have compassion on me!”
49. And יהושע stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take courage, arise, He is calling you.”
