Matthew 20:17–34

^17pAnd Jesus ^ppgoing up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, ¹⁸Behold, ^qwe go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be ^rbetrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, ¹⁹and shall ^rdeliver him ^sto the Gentiles to ^tmock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and ^uthe third day he shall rise again.

^20wThen came to him the mother of ^xZebedee’s children with her sons, ^yworshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. ²¹And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons ^zmay sit, the one ^zzon thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom. ²²But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of ^athe cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with ^bthe baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. ²³And he saith unto them, ^cYe shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, ^dbut it shall be given to them for whom it is ^eprepared of my Father. ²⁴And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren. ²⁵But Jesus called them unto him, and said, ^fYe know that the princes of the Gentiles ^gexercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. ²⁶But it shall not be so among you: but ^hwhosoever will be great among you, let him be your ⁱminister; ²⁷and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: ²⁸even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, ^kbut to minister, and ^lto give his life a ransom for ^mmany.

²⁹ⁿAnd as they ⁿⁿdeparted from ^oJericho, a great multitude followed him. ³⁰And behold, ^ptwo blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. ³¹And the multitude rebuked them, ^qbecause they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. ³²And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you? ³³They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. ³⁴So Jesus had compassion on them, and ^rtouched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
