Luke 18:31–19:10

Christ Foretells His Death and Resurrection

Matt. 20:17–19; Mark 10:32–34

31 wThen He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things xthat are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be 6accomplished. 32 For yHe will be delivered to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon. 33 They will scourge Him and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again.”

34 zBut they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know the things which were spoken.

Christ Heals Bartimaeus

Matt. 20:29–34; Mark 10:46–52

35 aThen it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging. 36 And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. 37 So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 38 And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, bSon of David, have mercy on me!”

39 Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

40 So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him, 41 saying, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

He said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight.”

42 Then Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; cyour faith has made you well.” 43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, dglorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

Christ Abides with Zacchaeus

19 Then Jesus entered and passed through aJericho. 2 Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to bsee who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up 1and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, 2make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” 6 So he 3made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully. 7 But when they saw it, they all 4complained, saying, c“He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.”

8 Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the dpoor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by efalse accusation, fI restore fourfold.”

9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because ghe also is ha son of Abraham; 10 ifor the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
