The Third Prediction of His Death
32 They(A) were on the road, going up to Jerusalem,(B) and Jesus was walking ahead of them. The disciples were astonished, but those who followed him were afraid.(C) Taking the Twelve aside again, he began to tell them the things that would happen to him.(D) 33 “See, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man(E) will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes,(F) and they will condemn him to death. Then they will hand him over to the Gentiles,(G) 34 and they will mock him, spit on him, flog[a] him, and kill him, and he will rise(H) after three days.”(I)
Suffering and Service
35 James(J) and John,(K) the sons of Zebedee,(L) approached him and said, “Teacher,(M) we want you to do whatever we ask you.”
36 “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked them.
37 They answered him, “Allow us to sit at your right and at your left in your glory.”(N)
38 Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you’re asking.(O) Are you able to drink the cup(P) I drink or to be baptized with the baptism(Q) I am baptized with?”(R)
39 “We are able,” they told him.
Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with.(S) 40 But to sit at my right or left is not mine to give; instead, it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
41 When the ten disciples heard this, they began to be indignant with James and John.(T) 42 Jesus called them over and said to them, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over(U) them, and those in high positions act as tyrants over them. 43 But it is not so among you.(V) On the contrary, whoever wants to become great among you will be your servant,(W) 44 and whoever wants to be first among you will be a slave to all.(X) 45 For even the Son of Man(Y) did not come to be served, but to serve,(Z) and to give his life(AA) as a ransom(AB) for many.”[b](AC)
A Blind Man Healed
46 They(AD) came to Jericho.(AE) And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind(AF) beggar,(AG) was sitting by the road.(AH) 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth,(AI) he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David,(AJ) have mercy(AK) on me!” (AL) 48 Many warned him to keep quiet, but he was crying out all the more, “Have mercy on me,(AM) Son of David!”
49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”
So they called the blind man and said to him, “Have courage!(AN) Get up; he’s calling for you.” 50 He threw off his coat,(AO) jumped up, and came to Jesus.
51 Then Jesus answered him, “What do you want(AP) me to do for you?”
“Rabboni,”[c](AQ) the blind man said to him, “I want to see.”
52 Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has saved you.”(AR) Immediately he could see and began to follow Jesus on the road.

Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time(A)
32 They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took the Twelve(B) aside and told them what was going to happen to him. 33 “We are going up to Jerusalem,”(C) he said, “and the Son of Man(D) will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law.(E) They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, 34 who will mock him and spit on him, flog him(F) and kill him.(G) Three days later(H) he will rise.”(I)
The Request of James and John(J)
35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. “Teacher,” they said, “we want you to do for us whatever we ask.”
36 “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.
37 They replied, “Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory.”(K)
38 “You don’t know what you are asking,”(L) Jesus said. “Can you drink the cup(M) I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?”(N)
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,(O) 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,(P) 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,(Q) and to give his life as a ransom for many.”(R)
Blind Bartimaeus Receives His Sight(S)
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,(T) he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David,(U) 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,(V) I want to see.”
52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.”(W) Immediately he received his sight and followed(X) Jesus along the road.
