²⁰ But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate,

² And ^(A)a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, ^(B)to ^[a]ask alms from those who entered the temple;

⁵ Listen, my beloved brethren: ^(A)Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be ^(B)rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom ^(C)which He promised to those who love Him?

The Perspective of Rich and Poor

⁹ Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation,

²¹ desiring to be fed with ^[a]the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

⁷ So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and struck Job with painful boils ^(A)from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.

The Death of Lazarus

11 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of ^(A)Mary and her sister Martha.

A Blind Man Receives His Sight^(A)

^35 (B)Then 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, ^(C)Son 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; ^(D)your faith has made you well.” ⁴³ And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, ^(E)glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
