Psalms 30:2, 11

Mark 6:34; 10:46–52 and as

​​

Ps. 30:2     O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

​

11     Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

​

Mark 6:34     And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

​

10:46     . . . and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimæus, the son of Timæus, sat by the highway side begging.

​

47     And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

​

48     And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

​

49     And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.

​

50     And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

​

51      And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.

​

52     And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
