Luke 18:31–43

Jesus Foretells His Death a Third Time

^31jAnd taking the twelve, he said to them, “See, ^kwe are going up to Jerusalem, and ^leverything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished. ³²For he will be ^mdelivered over to the Gentiles and will be ⁿmocked and shamefully treated and ^ospit upon. ³³And after flogging him, they will kill him, and on ^pthe third day he will rise.” ^34qBut they understood none of these things. ^rThis saying was hidden from them, and they did not grasp what was said.

Jesus Heals a Blind Beggar

^35sAs he drew near to Jericho, ^ta blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. ³⁶And hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant. ³⁷They told him, ^u“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” ³⁸And he cried out, “Jesus, ^vSon of David, have mercy on me!” ³⁹And those who were in front ^wrebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” ⁴⁰And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him, ^41x“What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me recover my sight.” ⁴²And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; ^yyour faith has ^zmade you well.” ⁴³And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, ^aglorifying God. And ^ball the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
