not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take what is yours and go your way.
I wish to give to this last man the same as I gave to you. 15 Is it not lawful
for me to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious
because I am generous?' 16 So the last will be first, and the first will be
last."
17 Now as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve
disciples aside, and on the way he said to them, 18 "Behold, we are going
up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests
and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death, 19 and deliver
him to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified, and he will
be raised on the third day."
20 Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to him with her sons
and, kneeling down, asked something of him. 21 And he said to her,
"What do you want?" She said to him, "Grant that these two sons of mine
may sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom." 22
But Jesus answered, "You do not know what you are asking for. Are you
able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to him, "We are
able." 23 He said to them, "You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my
right or my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has
been prepared by my Father." 24 And when the ten heard it, they were
indignant with the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called them to him and
said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their
great men exercise authority over them. 26 Yet it shall not be so among
you; but whoever desires to become great among you must be your
servant. 27 And whoever wants to be first among you must be your
slaveó28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,
and to give his life as a ransom for many."
29 And as they went out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him.
30 And behold, two blind men sitting by the roadside, when they heard
that Jesus was passing by, cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of
David!" 31 The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be quiet; but they
cried out all the more, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!" 32 And
Jesus stopped and called them, saying, "What do you want me to do for
you? " 33 They said to him, "Lord, let our eyes be opened." 34 And Jesus
had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they
received their sight and followed him.

1 Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage,
at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, "Go
into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey
tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If any one
says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and he
will send them immediately." 4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken
by the prophet, saying:
5 "Tell the daughter of Zion,
'Behold, your King is coming to you,
lowly, and sitting on a donkey,
