Matthew 20:22-32

22 But Jesus answered, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able ¹to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to Him, "We are able."

23 He said to them, "²My cup you shall drink; but to sit on My right and on My left, this is not Mine to give, ³but it is for those for whom it has been ⁴prepared by My Father."

24 And hearing this, the ten became indignant with the two brothers.

25 ⁵But Jesus called them to Himself and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.

26 "It is not this way among you, ⁶but whoever * wishes to become great among you shall be your servant,

27 and whoever * wishes to be first among you shall be your slave;

28 just as ⁷the Son of Man ⁸did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

Sight for the Blind

29 ⁹As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him.

30 And two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, "Lord, ¹⁰have mercy on us, ¹¹Son of David!"

31 The crowd sternly told them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more, "Lord, ¹²Son of David, have mercy on us!"

32 And Jesus stopped and called them, and said, "What do you want Me to do for you?"
