Mark 10:40-50

40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, ¹but it is for those for whom it has been ²prepared."

41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John.

42 ³And Jesus called them to him and said to them, "You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles ⁴lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

43 But ⁵it 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 ⁶slave^[b] of all.

45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but ⁷to serve, and ⁸to give his life as a ransom for ⁹many."

Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus

46 ¹⁰And they came to Jericho. And ¹¹as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, ¹²a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside.

47 And when he heard that it was ¹³Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

48 And many ¹⁴rebuked 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, ¹⁵"Take heart. Get up; he is calling you."

50 And throwing off his ¹⁶cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus.
