Luke 18:31–43

Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection a Third Time

³¹And taking aside the twelve, he said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written by the prophets with reference to the Son of Man will be accomplished. ³²For he will be handed over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and mistreated and spit on, ³³and after^* flogging him^* they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise.” ³⁴And they understood none of these things, and this saying was concealed from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said.

A Blind Man Healed at Jericho

³⁵Now it happened that as he drew near to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting on the side of the road begging. ³⁶And when he^* heard a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant. ³⁷And they told him, “Jesus the Nazarene is passing by.” ³⁸And he called out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” ³⁹And those who were in front rebuked him, that he should be silent, but he cried out even more loudly,^k “Son of David, have mercy on me!” ⁴⁰So Jesus stopped and^* ordered him to be brought to him. And when^* he approached, he asked him, ⁴¹“What do you want me to do for you?” And he said, “Lord, that I may regain my sight. ⁴²And Jesus said to him, “Regain your sight! Your faith has saved you.” ⁴³And immediately he regained his sight and began to follow^* him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they^* saw it,^* gave praise to God.
