- Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him.
- "What is it you want?" he asked. She said, "Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom."
- "You don't know what you are asking," Jesus said to them. "Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?" "We can," they answered.
- Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father."
- When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers.

- Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him.
- And He said to her, "What do you wish?" She said to Him, "Command that in Your kingdom these two sons of mine may sit one on Your right and one on Your left."
- But Jesus answered, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to Him, "We are able."
- He said to them, "My cup you shall drink; but to sit on My right and on My left, this is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father."
- And hearing this, the ten became indignant with the two brothers.

- Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.
- Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
- and whoever wants to be first must be your slave--
- just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
- As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him.
|
- But Jesus called them to Himself and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.
- "It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant,
- and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave;
- just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."
- As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him.
|
- Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"
- The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"
- Jesus stopped and called them. "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.
- "Lord," they answered, "we want our sight."
- Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.
|
- And two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"
- The crowd sternly told them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"
- And Jesus stopped and called them, and said, "What do you want Me to do for you?"
- They said to Him, "Lord, we want our eyes to be opened."
- Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.
