Mark 10:32-52

32They were on the way going up to Jerusalem, and Yeshua was going ahead of them. And they were amazed, while those who followed were fearful. Again Yeshua took the Twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him.

33He said, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the ruling kohanim and the Torah scholars. They will condemn Him to death and hand Him over to the Gentiles.

34They will mock Him and spit on Him, scourge Him and kill Him. Yet after three days, He will rise again!”

35Then Jacob and John, the sons of Zebedee, come up to Him, saying, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You.”

36And He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

37They said to Him, “Let us sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory.”

38But Yeshua answered them, “You don’t know what you’re asking! Are you able to drink the cup I drink, or endure the immersion I must endure?”

39They said to Him, “We are able.” And Yeshua said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink, and you will endure the immersion I must endure.

40But to sit on My right or left is not Mine to grant—it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”

41Now when the ten heard, they started to get angry with Jacob and John.

42And calling them over, Yeshua said to them, “You know those recognized as rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones play the tyrant over them.

43Yet it is not this way among you. But whoever wants to be great among you shall be your servant,

44and whoever wants to be first among you shall be slave of all.

45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

46Then they came to Jericho. Now as Yeshua was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside.

47When he heard that it was Yeshua of Natzeret, he began to cry out, “Ben-David, Yeshua! Have mercy on me!”

48Many were warning him to be quiet; but he kept crying out all the more, “Ben-David, have mercy on me!”

49Yeshua stopped and said, “Call him over.” So they call the blind man, saying, “Take heart! Get up, He’s calling you!”

50Throwing off his cloak, he jumped up and came to Yeshua.

51And answering him, Yeshua said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” The blind man said, “Rabboni, I want to see again!”

52Yeshua said to him, “Go! Your faith has made you well.” Instantly he regained his sight and began following Yeshua down the road.
