  14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?

  15 And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,

  16 and one of you tells them, “Go in peace. Be warmed and filled;” yet you didn’t give them the things the body needs, what good is it?

  17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.

  18 Yes, a man will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

  19 You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.

  20 But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?

  21 Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

  22 You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected.

  23 So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God.

  24 You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith.

  25 In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

  26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.

- Gospel

  Mark 10:46–52

  46 They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.

  47 When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”

  48 Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”

  49 Jesus stood still, and said, “Call him.” They called the blind man, saying to him, “Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!”

  50 He, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.

  51 Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Rabboni, that I may see again.”

  52 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus on the way.
