³¹Then Jesus took the twelve apostles aside and said to them, “We are going to Jerusalem. Everything the prophets wrote about the Son of Man will happen. ³²He will be turned over to those who are evil. They will laugh at him, insult him, spit on him, ³³beat him with whips, and kill him. But on the third day, he will rise to life again.” ³⁴The apostles did not understand this; the meaning was hidden from them, and they did not realize what was said.

Jesus Heals a Blind Man

³⁵As Jesus came near the city of Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging. ³⁶When he heard the people coming down the road, he asked, “What is happening?”

³⁷They told him, “Jesus, from Nazareth, is going by.”

³⁸The blind man cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

³⁹The people leading the group warned the blind man to be quiet. But the blind man shouted even more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁰Jesus stopped and ordered the blind man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, ⁴¹“What do you want me to do for you?”

He said, “Lord, I want to see.”

⁴²Jesus said to him, “Then see. You are healed because you believed.”

⁴³At once the man was able to see, and he followed Jesus, thanking God. All the people who saw this praised God.
