10:46 到了耶利哥；耶穌同門徒並許多人出耶利哥的時候，有一個討飯的瞎子，是底買的兒子巴底買，坐在路旁。
10:47 他聽見是拿撒勒的耶穌，就喊著說：「大衛的子孫耶穌啊！可憐我吧！」
10:48 有許多人責備他，不許他作聲。他卻越發大聲喊著說：「大衛的子孫哪，可憐我吧！」
10:49 耶穌就站住，說：「叫過他來。」他們就叫那瞎子，對他說：「放心，起來！他叫你啦。」
10:50 瞎子就丟下衣服，跳起來，走到耶穌那裡。
10:51 耶穌說：「要我為你做甚麼？」瞎子說：「拉波尼（就是夫子），我要能看見。」
10:52 耶穌說：「你去吧！你的信救了你了。」瞎子立刻看見了，就在路上跟隨耶穌。
46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
48 Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”
So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” 50 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.
51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.
The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”
52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
*************
巴底買宣告主耶穌就是大衛的子孫，主耶穌就醫治了他的眼睛，他的生命就改變了，雖然主耶穌說：「你去吧！你的信救了你了。」瞎子立刻看見了，就在路上跟隨耶穌。
但是我們要知道：「信心」是賜福的管道，但是真正有能力讓我們得拯救的是上帝，當將榮耀歸給上帝！
而我們「信心」的產生是來自上帝的「信實」，讓我們將榮耀歸給上帝吧！
