010:032 They were still on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; they were full of wonder, and some, though they followed, did so with fear. Then, once more calling to Him the Twelve, He began to tell them what was about to happen to Him. 010:033 "See," He said, "we are going up to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man will be betrayed to the High Priests and the Scribes. They will condemn Him to death, and will hand Him over to the Gentiles; 010:034 they will insult Him in cruel sport, spit on Him, scourge Him, and put Him to death; but on the third day He will rise to life again." 010:035 Then James and John, the sons of Zabdi, came up to Him and said, "Rabbi, we wish you would grant us whatever request we make of you." 010:036 "What would you have me do for you?" He asked. 010:037 "Allow us," they replied, "to sit one at your right hand and the other at your left hand, in your glory." 010:038 "You know not," said He, "what you are asking. Are you able to drink out of the cup from which I am to drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized?" 010:039 "We are able," they replied. "Out of the cup," said Jesus, "from which I am to drink you shall drink, and with the baptism with which I am to be baptized you shall be baptized; 010:040 but as to sitting at my right hand or at my left, that is not mine to give: it will be for those for whom it is reserved." 010:041 The other ten, hearing of it, were at first highly indignant with James and John. 010:042 Jesus, however, called them to Him and said to them, "You are aware how those who are deemed rulers among the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men make them feel their authority; 010:043 but it is not to be so among you. No, whoever desires to be great among you must be your servant; 010:044 and whoever desires to be first among you must be the bondservant of all. 010:045 For the Son of Man also did not come to be waited upon, but to wait on others, and to give His life as the redemption-price for a multitude of people." 010:046 They came to Jericho; and as He was leaving that town-- Himself and His disciples and a great crowd--Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind beggar, was sitting by the way-side. 010:047 Hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, "Son of David, Jesus, have pity on me." 010:048 Many angrily told him to leave off shouting; but he only cried out all the louder, "Son of David, have pity on me." 010:049 Then Jesus stood still. "Call him," He said. So they called the blind man. "Cheer up," they said; "rise, he is calling you." 010:050 The man flung away his outer garment, sprang to his feet, and came to Jesus.
