Luke 18:32-43 ▼

32 “For He will be delivered to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and mistreated and spit upon,

33 and after they have scourged Him, they will kill Him; and the third day He will rise again.”

34 And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said.

35 And it came about that as He was approaching Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting by the road, begging.

36 Now hearing a multitude going by, he began to inquire what this might be.

37 And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.

38 And he called out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

39 And those who led the way were sternly telling him to be quiet; but he kept crying out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

40 And Jesus stopped and commanded that he be brought to Him; and when he had come near, He questioned him,

41 “What do you want Me to do for you?” And he said, “Lord, I want to regain my sight!”

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

43 And immediately he regained his sight, and began following Him, glorifying God; and when all the people saw it, they gave praise to God.
