English Standard Version Anglicised

Jesus Foretells His Death a Third Time

^31 (A)And taking the twelve, he said to them, “See, ^(B)we are going up to Jerusalem, and ^(C)everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished. ³² For he will be ^(D)delivered over to the Gentiles and will be ^(E)mocked and shamefully treated and ^(F)spat upon. ³³ And after flogging him, they will kill him, and on ^(G)the third day he will rise.” ^34 (H)But they understood none of these things. ^(I)This saying was hidden from them, and they did not grasp what was said.

Jesus Heals a Blind Beggar

^35 (J)As he drew near to Jericho, ^(K)a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. ³⁶ And hearing a crowd going by, he enquired what this meant. ³⁷ They told him, ^(L)“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” ³⁸ And he cried out, “Jesus, ^(M)Son of David, have mercy on me!” ³⁹ And those who were in front ^(N)rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” ⁴⁰ And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him, ^41 (O)“What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me recover my sight.” ⁴² And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; ^(P)your faith has ^(Q)made you well.” ⁴³ And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, ^(R)glorifying God. And ^(S)all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

Jesus and Zacchaeus

19 ^(T)He entered Jericho and was passing through. ² And there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. ³ And ^(U)he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small of stature. ⁴ So he ran on ahead and climbed up into ^(V)a sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way. ⁵ And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for ^(W)I must stay at your house today.” ⁶ So he hurried and came down and ^(X)received him joyfully. ⁷ And when they saw it, they all ^(Y)grumbled, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” ⁸ And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods ^(Z)I give to the poor. And if I have ^(AA)defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it ^(AB)fourfold.” ⁹ And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since ^(AC)he also is a son of Abraham. ¹⁰ For ^(AD)the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
