Mark 10:38-52

38“You do not knowG3756G1492 whatG5101 you are askingG154,” JesusG2424 repliedG2036. “Can youG1410 drinkG4095 theG3588 cupG4221 IG1473 will drinkG4095, or be baptizedG907 with theG3588 baptismG908 I will undergo?”

39“We canG1410,” the brothers answeredG2036G846.

“You will drinkG4095 theG3588 cupG4221 thatG3739 IG1473 drinkG4095,” JesusG2424 saidG2036, “andG2532 you will be baptizedG907 with theG3588 baptismG908 thatG3739 IG1473 undergo. 40ButG1161 to sitG2523 atG1537 MyG1473 rightG1188 orG2228 leftG2176 isG1510 notG3756 MineG1699 to grantG1325. These seats belong to those for whomG37391 they have been preparedG2090.”

41WhenG2532 theG3588 tenG1176 heard aboutG191 this, they becameG756 indignantG23 withG4012 JamesG2385 andG2532 JohnG2491. 42SoG2532 JesusG2424 called them togetherG4341G846 and saidG3004G846, “You knowG1492 thatG3754 thoseG3588 regarded asG1380 rulersG757 of theG3588 GentilesG1484 lord it overG2634 themG846, andG2532 theirG846 superiorsG3173 exercise authority overG2715 themG846. 43ButG1161 it shall not beG1510 this wayG3779 amongG1722 youG4771. InsteadG235, whoeverG3739G302 wantsG2309 to becomeG1096 greatG3173 amongG1722 youG4771 must beG1510 yourG4771 servantG1249, 44andG2532 whoeverG3739G302 wantsG2309 to beG1510 firstG4413 must beG1510 the slaveG1401 of allG3956. 45ForG1063 evenG2532 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 did not comeG2064G3756 to be servedG1247, butG235 to serveG1247, andG2532 to giveG1325 HisG846 lifeG5590 as a ransomG3083 forG473 manyG4183.”

46NextG2532, they cameG2064 toG1519 JerichoG2410. AndG2532 asG846 Jesus andG2532 HisG846 disciplesG3101 were leavingG1607G575 JerichoG2410 withG2532 a largeG2425 crowdG3793, a blindG5185 beggarG4319 named BartimaeusG924, theG3588 sonG5207 of TimaeusG5090, was sittingG2521 besideG3844 theG3588 roadG3598. 47WhenG2532 he heardG191 thatG3754 it wasG1510 JesusG2424 ofG3588 NazarethG3479, he beganG756 to cry outG2896G2532G3004, “JesusG2424, SonG5207 of DavidG1138, have mercy onG1653 meG1473!”

48

ManyG4183 people admonishedG2008 himG846 toG2443 be silentG4623, butG1161 he cried outG2896 allG4183 the louderG3123, “SonG5207 of DavidG1138, have mercy onG1653 meG1473!”

49

JesusG2424 stoppedG2476 and saidG2036, “CallG5455 himG846.”

SoG2532 they calledG5455 theG3588 blindG5185 man. “Take courageG2293!” they saidG3004G846. “Get upG1453! He is calling forG5455 youG4771.”

50

Throwing offG577 hisG846 cloakG2440, Bartimaeus jumped upG1530 and cameG2064 toG4314 JesusG2424.

51“WhatG5101 do you wantG2309 Me to doG4160 for youG4771?” JesusG2424 askedG611.

“RabboniG4462,” saidG2036 theG3588 blindG5185 man, “let me see againG2443G308.”

52“GoG5217,” saidG2036 JesusG2424, “yourG4771 faithG4102 has healedG4982 youG4771.” AndG2532 immediatelyG2112 he received his sightG308 andG2532 followedG190 Jesus alongG1722 theG3588 roadG3598.
