Original text and translations

Latin text Transeunte Domino clamabat coecus ad eum, et qui praeibant, increpabant eum. Ipse vero multo magis clamabat: Miserere mei, fili David. Et ait illi Jesus: Quid vis ut faciam tibi? Domine, ut videam. Et Jesus ait illi: Respice, fides tua te salvum fecit. Et confestim vidit et sequebatur illum magnificans Deum.

English translation As the Lord was passing, a blind man called out to him; Those who led the way rebuked him. But he cried out all the more, Have mercy on me, Son of David. And Jesus said to him: What do you want me to do for you? O lord, that I might see. And Jesus answered: See, your faith has made you whole. Immediately the man received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. Translation by James Gibb
