"And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, and saying "Have MERCY on us, Son of David!"  And after He had come into the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?"  They said to Him, "Yes, Lord."  Then He touched their eyes, saying, "Be it done to you according to your faith."  And their eyes were opened."  Matt. 9:27-29
