Mark 10:46-11:11

Christian Standard Bible

A Blind Man Healed

⁴⁶ They^(A) came to Jericho.^(B) And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind^(C) beggar,^(D) was sitting by the road.^{(E) 47} When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth,^(F) he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David,^(G) have mercy^(H) on me!” ^{(I) 48} Many warned him to keep quiet, but he was crying out all the more, “Have mercy on me,^(J) Son of David!”

⁴⁹ Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”

So they called the blind man and said to him, “Have courage!^(K) Get up; he’s calling for you.” ⁵⁰ He threw off his coat,^(L) jumped up, and came to Jesus.

⁵¹ Then Jesus answered him, “What do you want^(M) me to do for you?”

“Rabboni,”^[a](N) the blind man said to him, “I want to see.”

⁵² Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has saved you.”^(O) Immediately he could see and began to follow Jesus on the road.

The Triumphal Entry

11 When^(P) they approached Jerusalem,^(Q) at Bethphage and Bethany^(R) near the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples ² and told them, “Go into the village ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. ³ If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here right away.’”

⁴ So they went and found a colt outside in the street, tied by a door. They untied it, ⁵ and some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” ⁶ They answered them just as Jesus had said; so they let them go.

⁷ They brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and he sat on it. ⁸ Many people spread their clothes on the road,^(S) and others spread leafy branches cut from the fields.^{[b] 9} Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted:

¹¹ He went into Jerusalem^(Y) and into the temple.^(Z) After looking around at everything, since it was already late, he went out to Bethany^(AA) with the Twelve.
