Luke 18:35-43
[35] As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. [36] When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. [37] They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by."
[38] He called out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" ...
[40] Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, [41] "What do you want me to do for you?"
"Lord, I want to see," he replied.
[42] Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has healed y- oh, wait a minute, hold on, were you born blind?"
[43] And, confused, the beggar said, "Well, I ... well, yeah, but ..."
[44] And then Jesus, the son of God, took in a sharp breath through his teeth and said, "Gee, man, I'm sorry, but that's a pre-existing condition. Can't help ya. I mean, if I healed you, I'd have to heal everybody. Tough luck, huh?"
[45] And then, turning away from the blind beggar, who's face was contorted in open-mouth shock, Jesus bought himself a gyro and crammed it into his mouth, for ye verily was he hungry.
