Mark 10:32-52

English Standard Version

Jesus Foretells His Death a Third Time

³²^(A)And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and ^(B)Jesus was walking ahead of them. And ^(C)they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him, ³³saying, “See, ^(D)we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will ^(E)condemn him to death and ^(F)deliver him over to the Gentiles. ³⁴And they will ^(G)mock him and ^(H)spit on him, and flog him and kill him. And ^(I)after three days he will rise.”

The Request of James and John

³⁵^(J)And James and John, ^(K)the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us ^(L)whatever we ask of you.” ³⁶And he said to them, ^(M)“What do you want me to do for you?” ³⁷And they said to him, “Grant us ^(N)to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, ^(O)in your glory.” ³⁸Jesus said to them, ^(P)“You do not know what you are asking. Are you able ^(Q)to drink the cup that I drink, or ^(R)to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” ³⁹And they said to him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, ^(S)“The cup that I drink ^(T)you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, ^(U)you will be baptized, ⁴⁰but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, ^(V)but it is for those for whom it has been ^(W)prepared.” ⁴¹And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. ⁴²^(X)And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles ^(Y)lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. ⁴³But ^(Z)it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,^[a] ⁴⁴and whoever would be first among you must be ^(AA)slave^[b] of all. ⁴⁵For even the Son of Man came not to be served but ^(AB)to serve, and ^(AC)to give his life as a ransom for ^(AD)many.”

Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus

⁴⁶^(AE)And they came to Jericho. And ^(AF)as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, ^(AG)a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. ⁴⁷And when he heard that it was ^(AH)Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” ⁴⁸And many ^(AI)rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” ⁴⁹And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, ^(AJ)“Take heart. Get up; he is calling you.” ⁵⁰And throwing off his ^(AK)cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. ⁵¹And Jesus said to him, ^(AL)“What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, ^(AM)“Rabbi, let me recover my sight.” ⁵²And Jesus said to him, “Go your way; ^(AN)your faith has ^(AO)made you well.” And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him on the way.

English Standard Version

Great Is Your Steadfast Love

^(A)A Prayer of David.

86 ^(B)Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,
    for I am ^(C)poor and needy.
²Preserve my life, for I am ^(D)godly;
    save your servant, who ^(E)trusts in you—you are my God.
³^(F)Be gracious to me, O Lord,
    for to you do I cry all the day.
⁴Gladden the soul of your servant,
    for ^(G)to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
⁵For you, O Lord, are good and ^(H)forgiving,
    ^(I)abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
⁶^(J)Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
    listen to my plea for grace.
⁷In ^(K)the day of my trouble I call upon you,
    ^(L)for you answer me.

⁸There is ^(M)none like you among the gods, O Lord,
    ^(N)nor are there any works like yours.
⁹^(O)All the nations you have made shall come
    and worship before you, O Lord,
    and shall glorify your name.
¹⁰For ^(P)you are great and ^(Q)do wondrous things;
    ^(R)you alone are God.
¹¹^(S)Teach me your way, O Lord,
    that I may ^(T)walk in your truth;
    ^(U)unite my heart to fear your name.
¹²I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
    and I will glorify your name forever.
¹³^(V)For great is your steadfast love toward me;
    you have ^(W)delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

¹⁴O God, insolent men have ^(X)risen up against me;
    a band of ruthless men seeks my life,
    and they do not set you before them.
¹⁵But you, O Lord, are a God ^(Y)merciful and gracious,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
¹⁶^(Z)Turn to me and be gracious to me;
    give your strength to ^(AA)your servant,
    and save ^(AB)the son of your maidservant.
¹⁷^(AC)Show me a sign of your ^(AD)favor,
    that those who hate me may see and be put to shame
    because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
