New Testament in a Year
32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them, and they wondered, and [they] followed, and dreaded. And again Jesus took the twelve, and began to say to them, what things were to come to him.
33 For lo! we ascend to Jerusalem, and man's Son shall be betrayed to the princes of priests, and to [the] scribes, and to the elder men; and they shall condemn him by death, and they shall take him [and they shall betake him] to heathen men.
34 And they shall scorn him, and [they shall] bespit him, and [they shall] beat him; and they shall slay him, and in the third day he shall rise again.
35 And James and John, Zebedee's sons, came to him, and said [saying], Master, we will, that whatever we [shall] ask, thou do to us.
36 And he said to them, What will ye that I do to you?
37 And they said, Grant to us, that we sit the one at thy right half [that we sit the one on thy right half], and the other at thy left half, in thy glory.
38 And Jesus said to them, Ye know not what ye ask; be ye able to drink the cup, which I shall drink[a], or be washed with the baptism, in which I am baptized?
39 And they said to him, We be able. And Jesus said to them, [Truly] Ye shall drink the cup that I drink, and ye shall be washed with the baptism, in which I am baptized;
40 but to sit at my right half or left half is not mine to give to you, but to whom it is made ready.
41 And the ten heard, and began to have indignation of James and John.
42 But Jesus called them, and said to them, Ye know, that they that seem to have princehood of folks, be lords of them [Soothly Jesus calling them, saith to them, Ye know, that they that seem, or be seen, to have princehood on folks, lordship, or be lords, of them], and the princes of them have power of them.
43 But it is not so among you, but whoever will be made [the] greater, shall be your minister;
44 and whoever will be the first among you, shall be servant of all.
45 For why man's Son came not, that it should be ministered to him, but that he should minister, and give his life again-buying for many [and give his life redemption, or again-buying, for many].
46 And they came to Jericho; and when he went forth from Jericho, and his disciples, and a full much people, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus, sat beside the way, and begged.[b]
47 And when he heard, that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry, and say, Jesus, the son of David, have mercy on me.
48 And many threatened him, that he should be still; and he cried much the more, Jesus, the son of David, have mercy on me.
49 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be called; and they called the blind man, and said to him [and they call the blind man, saying to him], Be thou of better heart, rise up, he calleth thee.
50 And he cast away his cloak [his cloth], and skipped, and came to him.
51 And Jesus answered, and said to him, What wilt thou, that I shall do to thee? The blind man said to him, Master, that I see.
52 Jesus said to him, Go thou, thy faith hath made thee safe. And at once [And anon] he saw, and followed him in the way.
