Luke 18:28-43

28 And Peter said, "See, ¹we have left our homes and followed you."

29 And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, ²there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers^[a] or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

30 who will not receive ³many times more ⁴in this time, and in ⁵the age to come eternal life."

Jesus Foretells His Death a Third Time

31 ⁶And taking the twelve, he said to them, "See, ⁷we are going up to Jerusalem, and ⁸everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished.

32 For he will be ⁹delivered over to the Gentiles and will be ¹⁰mocked and shamefully treated and ¹¹spit upon.

33 And after flogging him, they will kill him, and on ¹²the third day he will rise."

34 ¹³But they understood none of these things. ¹⁴This saying was hidden from them, and they did not grasp what was said.

Jesus Heals a Blind Beggar

35 ¹⁵As he drew near to Jericho, ¹⁶a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging.

36 And hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant.

37 They told him, ¹⁷"Jesus of Nazareth is passing by."

38 And he cried out, "Jesus, ¹⁸Son of David, have mercy on me!"

39 And those who were in front ¹⁹rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

40 And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him,

41 ²⁰"What do you want me to do for you?" He said, "Lord, let me recover my sight."

42 And Jesus said to him, "Recover your sight; ²¹your faith has ²²made you well."

43 And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, ²³glorifying God. And ²⁴all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
