Solomon Prays for Wisdom
7 (A)In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.” 8 And Solomon said to God, “You have shown great and steadfast love to David my father, (B)and have made me king in his place. 9 O Lord God, (C)let your word to David my father be now fulfilled, for you have made me king over a people as numerous (D)as the dust of the earth. 10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge to (E)go out and come in before this people, for who can govern this people of yours, which is so great?” 11 God answered Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked for (F)possessions, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you, and have not even asked for long life, but have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself that you may govern my people over whom I have made you king, 12 wisdom and knowledge are granted to you. I will also give you (G)riches, possessions, and honor, (H)such as none of the kings had who were before you, and none after you shall have the like.”

11 God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth,(F) possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, 12 therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor,(G) such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.(H)”

38 Jesus said to them, (A)“You do not know what you are asking. Are you able (B)to drink the cup that I drink, or (C)to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” 39 And they said to him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, (D)“The cup that I drink (E)you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, (F)you will be baptized, 40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, (G)but it is for those for whom it has been (H)prepared.” 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. 42 (I)And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles (J)lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43 But (K)it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,[a] 44 and whoever would be first among you must be (L)slave[b] of all. 45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but (M)to serve, and (N)to give his life as a ransom for (O)many.”
Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus
46 (P)And they came to Jericho. And (Q)as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, (R)a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. 47 And when he heard that it was (S)Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 And many (T)rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49 And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, (U)“Take heart. Get up; he is calling you.” 50 And throwing off his (V)cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus said to him, (W)“What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, (X)“Rabbi, let me recover my sight.”

New International Version
38 “You don’t know what you are asking,”(A) Jesus said. “Can you drink the cup(B) I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?”(C)
39 “We can,” they answered.
Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with,(D) 40 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.”
41 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. 42 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,(E) 44 and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,(F) and to give his life as a ransom for many.”(G)
Blind Bartimaeus Receives His Sight(H)
46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth,(I) he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David,(J) have mercy on me!”
48 Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”
So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” 50 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.
51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.
The blind man said, “Rabbi,(K) I want to see.”
