Luke 18:43

41 “What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”

42 “Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”

Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people who saw this gave praise to God.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
