Mark 10:46–11:10
46 aThen they * came to Jericho. And bas He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road.
47 When he heard that it was Jesus the aNazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, bSon of David, have mercy on me!”
48 Many were sternly telling him to be quiet, but he kept crying out all the more, “aSon of David, have mercy on me!”
49 And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him here.” So they * called the blind man, saying to him, “aTake courage, stand up! He is calling for you.”
50 Throwing aside his cloak, he jumped up and came to Jesus.
51 And answering him, Jesus said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” And the blind man said to Him, “1aRabboni, I want to regain my sight!”
52 And Jesus said to him, “Go; ayour faith has 1made you well.” Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him on the road.
1 aAs they * approached Jerusalem, at Bethphage and bBethany, near cthe Mount of Olives, He * sent two of His disciples,
2 and * said to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.
3 “If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ you say, ‘The Lord has need of it’; and immediately he 1will send it back here.”
4 They went away and found a colt tied at the door, outside in the street; and they * untied it.
5 Some of the bystanders were saying to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?”
6 They spoke to them just as Jesus had told them, and they gave them permission.
7 aThey * brought the colt to Jesus and put their coats on it; and He sat on it.
8 And many spread their coats in the road, and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.
9 Those who went in front and those who followed were shouting:
“Hosanna!
aBlessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord;
10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David;
Hosanna ain the highest!”
