Mark 10:40-50

English Standard Version

⁴⁰ but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, ^(A)but it is for those for whom it has been ^(B)prepared.” ⁴¹ And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. ^42 (C)And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles ^(D)lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. ⁴³ But ^(E)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 ^(F)slave^[b] of all. ⁴⁵ For even the Son of Man came not to be served but ^(G)to serve, and ^(H)to give his life as a ransom for ^(I)many.”

Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus

^46 (J)And they came to Jericho. And ^(K)as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, ^(L)a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. ⁴⁷ And when he heard that it was ^(M)Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” ⁴⁸ And many ^(N)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, ^(O)“Take heart. Get up; he is calling you.” ⁵⁰ And throwing off his ^(P)cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus.
