Matthew 20:22-34

22“You do not knowG3756G1492 whatG5101 you are askingG154,” JesusG2424 repliedG611. “Can youG1410 drinkG4095 theG3588 cupG4221 IG1473 am goingG3195 to drinkG4095?”1

“We canG1410,” the brothers answeredG3004G846.

23“You will indeed drinkG3303G4095 MyG1473 cupG4221,”2 Jesus saidG3004. “ButG1161 to sitG2523 atG1537 MyG1473 rightG1188 or leftG2176 isG1510 notG3756 MineG1699 to grantG1325. These seats belong to those for whomG3739 MyG1473 FatherG3962 has prepared themG2090.”

24WhenG2532 theG3588 tenG1176 heard aboutG191 this, they were indignantG23 withG4012 theG3588 twoG1417 brothersG80. 25ButG1161 JesusG2424 called them asideG4341G846 and saidG2036, “You knowG1492 thatG3754 theG3588 rulersG758 of theG3588 GentilesG1484 lord it overG2634 themG846, andG2532 their superiorsG3173 exercise authority overG2715 themG846. 26It shall not beG3756G1510 this wayG3779 amongG1722 youG4771. InsteadG235, whoeverG3739G1437 wantsG2309 to becomeG1096 greatG3173 amongG1722 youG4771 must beG1510 yourG4771 servantG1249, 27andG2532 whoeverG3739G302 wantsG2309 to beG1510 firstG4413 amongG1722 youG4771 must beG1510 yourG4771 slaveG1401— 28just asG5618 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 did not comeG3756G2064 to be servedG1247, butG235 to serveG1247, andG2532 to giveG1325 HisG846 lifeG5590 as a ransomG3083 forG473 manyG4183.”

As theyG846 were leavingG1607G575 JerichoG2410, a largeG4183 crowdG3793 followedG190 HimG846. 30AndG2532 there wereG2400 twoG1417 blindG5185 men sittingG2521 besideG3844 theG3588 roadG3598. When they heardG191 thatG3754 JesusG2424 was passing byG3855, they cried outG2896G3004, “LordG2962, SonG5207 of DavidG1138, have mercy onG1653 usG1473!”

31

TheG3588 crowdG3793 admonishedG2008 themG846 to be silentG4623, butG1161 they cried outG2896 all the louderG3173, “LordG2962, SonG5207 of DavidG1138, have mercy onG1653 usG1473!”

32

JesusG2424 stoppedG2476 and calledG5455 themG846. “WhatG5101 do you wantG2309 Me to doG4160 for youG4771?” He askedG2036.

33“LordG2962,” they answeredG3004G846, “letG2443 ourG1473 eyesG3788 be openedG455.”

34

Moved with compassionG4697, JesusG2424 touchedG680 theirG846 eyesG3659, andG2532 at onceG2112 they received their sightG308 andG2532 followedG190 HimG846.
