7 [10:32]And they were on the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before them; and they were amazed, and afraid, as they followed him. And again taking the twelve aside, he told them the things that were about to befall him; [10:33] Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him to the gentiles, [10:34]and they will mock him, and spit on him, and scourge him, and kill him, and after three days he shall rise again. 8 [10:35]And James and John, sons of Zebedee, came to him, saying, Teacher, we wish you to do for us what we will ask of you. [10:36]And he said to them, What do you wish me to do for you? [10:37]And they said to him, Grant us that we may sit one on your right hand, and the other on your left, in your glory. [10:38] And Jesus said to them, You know not what you ask. Can you drink of the cup of which I drink? or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized? [10:39] And they said to him, We can. And Jesus said to them, You shall drink of the cup of which I drink, and be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized; [10:40]but to sit on my right hand, or left, is not mine to give but to those for whom it is prepared. 9 [10:41]And the ten, hearing this, were displeased with James and John. [10:42]And Jesus called them and said to them, You know that those who desire to rule the gentiles exercise lordship over them, and their great men exercise authority over them; [10:43]but it shall not be so with you. But whoever wishes to be great among you, let him be your minister; [10:44]and whoever wishes to be first of you, let him be a servant of all. [10:45]For the Son of man also came not to be served, but to serve and to give his life a ransom for many. 10 [10:46]And they came to Jericho. And as he went from Jericho, and his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timeus, Bartimeus, a blind beggar, sat by the way. [10:47]And hearing that Jesus was the Nazarene, he cried, saying, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. [10:48]And many charged him to be still. But he cried much more, Son of David, have mercy on me. [10:49]And Jesus stopping, said, Call him. And they called the blind man, saying to him, Be of good courage; arise, he calls you. [10:50]And he cast aside his garment, and leaping up went to Jesus. [10:51]And Jesus answered him and said, What do you wish me to do for you? And the blind man said to him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight. [10:52]And Jesus said to him, Go; your faith has cured you. And he immediately received sight, and followed him in the way.
