Old/New Testament
Jesus Predicts His Death And Resurrection For The Third Time
32 And they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going-ahead-of them. And they were astonished. And the ones following were fearing. And having again taken aside the twelve, He began to tell them the things going-to happen to Him, 33 that “Behold— we are going up to Jerusalem. And the Son of Man will be handed-over to the chief priests and the scribes. And they will condemn Him to death, and will hand Him over to the Gentiles. 34 And they will mock Him and spit-on Him and whip Him and kill Him. And after three days, He will rise-up”.
Two Disciples Jockey For Position In The Kingdom. He Says, It Is Not Mine To Give
35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, approach Him, saying to Him, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask You”. 36 And the One said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?” 37 And the ones said to Him, “Grant to us that we may sit one on Your right side and one on the left side in Your glory”. 38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup which I drink, or to be baptized the baptism which I am baptized?” 39 And the ones said to Him, “We are able”. And Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup which I drink. And you will be baptized the baptism which I am baptized. 40 But the sitting on My right side or on the left side is not Mine to give, but it is for whom it has been prepared”.
Whoever Wants To Be First Shall Be Your Slave. Even I Came To Serve
41 And having heard-of it, the ten began to be indignant about James and John. 42 And having summoned them, Jesus says to them, “You know that the ones having-the-reputation-of [a] being rulers of the Gentiles are lording-over[b] them, and their great ones are exercising-authority-over[c] them. 43 But it is not so among you. But whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first among you shall be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many”.
Blind Bartimaeus Calls Upon The Messiah To Heal Him
46 And they come to Jericho. And while He and His disciples and a considerable crowd are proceeding-out from Jericho, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting beside the road. 47 And having heard that it was Jesus from-Nazareth, he began to cry-out and say, “Son of David, Jesus, have-mercy-on me”. 48 And many were rebuking him in order that he might keep-silent. But the one was crying-out by much more, “Son of David, have mercy on me”. 49 And having stopped, Jesus said, “Call him”. And they call the blind one, saying to him, “Take-courage, arise, He is calling you!” 50 And the one, having thrown-off his cloak, having jumped-up, came to Jesus. 51 And having responded to him, Jesus said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” And the blind one said to Him, “Rabboni[d]— that I may see-again!” 52 And Jesus said to him, “Go. Your faith has restored[e] you”. And immediately he saw-again. And he was following Him on the road.
