³⁵And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and^* said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask you.” ³⁶And he said to them, “What do you want that I doⁿ for you?” ³⁷So they said to him, “Grant to us that we may sit one at your right hand and one at your left in your glory.” ³⁸But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” ³⁹And they said to him, “We are able.” So Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup that I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with, ⁴⁰but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but is for those for whom it has been prepared.” ⁴¹And when they^* heard this,^* the ten began to be indignant about James and John. ⁴²And Jesus called them to himself and^* said to them, “You know that those who are considered to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their people in high positions exercise authority over them. ⁴³But it is not like this among you! But whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, ⁴⁴and whoever wants to be most prominent among you must be the slave of all. ⁴⁵For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

A Blind Man Healed at Jericho

⁴⁶And they came to Jericho. And as^* he was setting out from Jericho along with his disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar, Bartimaeus the son of Timaeus, was sitting beside the road. ⁴⁷And when he^* heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” ⁴⁸And many people warned him that he should be quiet. But he was crying out even more loudly,^o “Son of David, have mercy on me!” ⁴⁹And Jesus stopped and^* said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man and^* said to him, “Have courage! Get up! He is calling you.” ⁵⁰And he threw off his cloak, jumped up, and^* came to Jesus. ⁵¹And Jesus answered him and^* said, “What do you want me to do^p for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Rabboni,^q that I may regain my sight.” ⁵²And Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has healed you.” And immediately he regained his sight and began to follow^r him on the road.
