possible with God."
018:028 Peter said, "Look, we have left everything, and followed you."
018:029 He said to them, "Most certainly I tell you, there is no
one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents,
or children, for the Kingdom of God's sake,
018:030 who will not receive many times more in this time, and in
the world to come, eternal life."
018:031 He took the twelve aside, and said to them, "Behold, we are going
up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through
the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
018:032 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked,
treated shamefully, and spit on.
018:033 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day,
he will rise again."
018:034 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden
from them, and they didn't understand the things that were said.
018:035 It happened, as he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat
by the road, begging.
018:036 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
018:037 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
018:038 He cried out, "Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!"
018:039 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet;
but he cried out all the more, "You son of David,
have mercy on me!"
018:040 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him.
When he had come near, he asked him,
018:041 "What do you want me to do?" He said, "Lord, that I
may see again."
018:042 Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you."
018:043 Immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God.
All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
019:001 He entered and was passing through Jericho.
019:002 There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector,
and he was rich.
019:003 He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn't because of
the crowd, because he was short.
019:004 He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him,
for he was to pass that way.
019:005 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him,
and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today
I must stay at your house."
019:006 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
019:007 When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone
in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
019:008 Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, half of
my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted
anything of anyone, I restore four times as much."
019:009 Jesus said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house,

019:010 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost."
