Matthew 20: 17 - 34
| 17As 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 delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death, 19and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.” |
| 20Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him. 21He said to her, “What do you want?” |
| She said to him, “Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom.” |
| 22But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptised with the baptism that I am baptised with?” |
| They said to him, “We are able.” |
| 23He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptised with the baptism that I am baptised with; but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give, but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” |
| 24When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers. |
| 25But Jesus summoned them, and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 26It shall not be so amongst you; but whoever desires to become great amongst you shall be your servant. 27Whoever desires to be first amongst you shall be your bondservant, 28even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” |
| 29As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. 30Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!” 31The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!” |
| 32Jesus stood still and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?” |
| 33They told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.” |
| 34Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him. |
