Matthew 9:27-31
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
27 (A)And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed [him], crying out, “Son of David,[a] have pity on us!”(B) 28 When he entered the house, the blind men approached him and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I can do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they said to him. 29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “Let it be done for you according to your faith.” 30 And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” 31 But they went out and spread word of him through all that land.
