Luke 18:29-43 ▼

29 and He said to them, “Truly I say to you that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God,

30 who may not receive back manifold more in this time, and in the coming age, continuous life.”

31 And having taken the Twelve aside, He said to them, “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things will be accomplished that have been written through the prophets to the Son of Man,

32 for He will be delivered up to the nations, and will be mocked, and insulted, and spit on,

33 and having scourged they will put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise again.”

34 And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.

35 And it came to pass, in His coming near to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,

36 and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,

37 and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene passes 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 crying out much more, “Son of David, deal kindly with me!”

40 And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought to Him, and he having come near, He questioned him,

41 saying, “What do you will I will do to you?” And he said, “Lord, that I may receive sight.”

42 And Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has saved you”;

43 and instantly he received sight, and was following Him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, gave praise to God.
