Bible. Matthew
020:019 and hand Him over to the Gentiles to be made sport of and scourged
and crucified; and on the third day He will be raised to life."
020:020 Then the mother of the sons of Zabdi came to Him with her sons,
and knelt before Him to make a request of Him.
020:021 "What is it you desire?" He asked. "Command," she replied,
"that these my two sons may sit one at your right hand and one
at your left in your Kingdom."
020:022 "None of you know what you are asking for," said Jesus;
"can you drink out of the cup from which I am about to drink?"
"We can," they replied.
020:023 "You shall drink out of my cup," He said, "but a seat at my
right hand or at my left it is not for me to allot, but it
belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."
020:024 The other ten heard of this, and their indignation was aroused
against the two brothers.
020:025 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.
020:026 Not so shall it be among you; but whoever desires to be great
among you shall be your servant,
020:027 and whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant;
020:028 just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve,
and to give His life as the redemption-price for many."
020:029 As they were leaving Jericho, an immense crowd following Him,
020:030 two blind men sitting by the roadside heard that it was Jesus
who was passing by, and cried aloud, "Sir, Son of David, pity us."
020:031 The people angrily tried to silence them, but they cried all
the louder. "O Sir, Son of David, pity us," they said.
020:032 So Jesus stood still and called to them. "What shall I do
for you?" He asked.
020:033 "Sir, let our eyes be opened," they replied.
020:034 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately
they regained their sight and followed Him.
021:001 When they were come near Jerusalem and had arrived at Bethphage
and the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of the disciples
on in front,
021:002 saying to them, "Go to the village you see facing you, and as you
enter it you will find a she-ass tied up and a foal with her.
Untie her and bring them to me.
021:003 And if any one says anything to you, say, `The Master needs them,'
and he will at once send them."
021:004 This took place in order that the Prophet's prediction
might be fulfilled:
021:005 "Tell the Daughter of Zion, `See, thy King is coming to thee,
gentle, and yet mounted on an ass, even on a colt the foal
of a beast of burden.'"
021:006 So the disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them:
021:007 they brought the she-ass and the foal, and threw their outer
