Mark 10:38-52

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.
