32
for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon,
33
and having scourged they shall put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.'

And it came to pass, in his coming nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,
36

and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth pass by,
38
and he cried out, saying, `Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;'
39
and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was much more crying out, `Son of David, deal kindly with me.'

41
saying, `What wilt thou I shall do to thee?' and he said, `Sir, that I may receive sight.'
