Mark 10:41-51

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

42 ¹And Jesus called them to him and said to them, "You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles ²lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

43 But ³it 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 ⁴slave^[b] of all.

45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but ⁵to serve, and ⁶to give his life as a ransom for ⁷many."

Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus

46 ⁸And they came to Jericho. And ⁹as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, ¹⁰a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside.

47 And when he heard that it was ¹¹Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

48 And many ¹²rebuked 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, ¹³"Take heart. Get up; he is calling you."

50 And throwing off his ¹⁴cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus.

51 And Jesus said to him, ¹⁵"What do you want me to do for you?" And the blind man said to him, ¹⁶"Rabbi, let me recover my sight."
