Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets shall be accomplished unto the Son of man.
32
For he shall be delivered up unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon:
33
and they shall scourge and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
34
And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, and they perceived not the things that were said.

And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
38
And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
39
And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

41
What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
