28 Peter began to say to him, “See, (A)we have left everything and followed you.” 29 Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, (B)there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and (C)for the gospel, 30 who will not receive a hundredfold (D)now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, (E)with persecutions, and in (F)the age to come eternal life. 31 But (G)many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

Jesus Foretells His Death a Third Time

32 (H)And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and (I)Jesus was walking ahead of them. And (J)they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him, 33 saying, “See, (K)we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will (L)condemn him to death and (M)deliver him over to the Gentiles. 34 And they will (N)mock him and (O)spit on him, and flog him and kill him. And (P)after three days he will rise.”

The Request of James and John

35 (Q)And James and John, (R)the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us (S)whatever we ask of you.” 36 And he said to them, (T)“What do you want me to do for you?” 37 And they said to him, “Grant us (U)to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, (V)in your glory.” 38 Jesus said to them, (W)“You do not know what you are asking. Are you able (X)to drink the cup that I drink, or (Y)to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” 39 And they said to him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, (Z)“The cup that I drink (AA)you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, (AB)you will be baptized, 40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, (AC)but it is for those for whom it has been (AD)prepared.” 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. 42 (AE)And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles (AF)lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43 But (AG)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 (AH)slave[b] of all. 45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but (AI)to serve, and (AJ)to give his life as a ransom for (AK)many.”

Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus

46 (AL)And they came to Jericho. And (AM)as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, (AN)a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. 47 And when he heard that it was (AO)Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 And many (AP)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, (AQ)“Take heart. Get up; he is calling you.” 50 And throwing off his (AR)cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus said to him, (AS)“What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, (AT)“Rabbi, let me recover my sight.” 52 And Jesus said to him, “Go your way; (AU)your faith has (AV)made you well.” And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him on the way.
