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”.
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[a]— that I may see-again!” 52 And Jesus said to him, “Go. Your faith has restored[b] you”. And immediately he saw-again. And he was following Him on the road.
