Mark 10:38-48 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
38
"You don't know what you are asking,"1 Jesus said. "Can you drink the cup2 I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?"3
39
"We can," they answered. Jesus said to them, "You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with,4
40
but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared."
41
When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John.
42
Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.
43
Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,5
44
and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.
45
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,6 and to give his life as a ransom for many."7
Blind Bartimaeus Receives His Sight
10:46-52pp -- Mt 20:29-34; Lk 18:35-43
46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (that is, the Son of Timaeus), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth,8 he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David,9 have mercy on me!" 48 Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"Scripture quoted by permission.
