Latin text Coecus quidam sedebat secus viam mendicans. Et cum audiret turbam praetereuntem, interrogabat quid hoc esset. Dixerunt autem illi quod Iesus Nazarenus transiret, et clamavit, dicens: Iesu, miserere mei, Fili David! Et qui praeibant, increpabant eum, ut taceret. Ipse vero multo magis clamabat: Miserere mei, Fili David! Stans autem Iesus iussit illum duci ad se, et cum adpropinquasset, interrogavit illum, dicens: Quid tibi vis faciam? At ille dixit: Domine ut visum recipiam. Et Iesus dixit illi: recipito visum, fides tua te salvum reddidit.

German translation Ein Blinder saß am Wege und bettelte. Als er aber die Menge hörte, die vorbeiging, fragte er, was das wäre. Da sagten sie ihm, Jesus von Nazareth gehe vorüber. Und er rief: Jesus, erbarme dich meiner, du Sohn Davids! 39 Die aber vornean gingen, fuhren ihn an, er solle schweigen. Er aber schrie noch viel mehr: Erbarme dich meiner, du Sohn Davids! Jesus aber blieb stehen und befahl, ihn zu sich zu führen, und als er sich näherte, fragte er ihn: Was willst du, dass ich für dich tun soll? Und jener sprach: Herr, dass ich wieder sehen kann. Und Jesus sprach zu ihm: Werde wieder sehend, dein Glaube hat dich gesund gemacht.

English translation A certain blind man sat by the way side begging. And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, have mercy on me, thou Son of David. And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more: Have mercy on me, thou Son of David. And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.                King James Bible
