Mark 10:43-52 ▼

43 |But it is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant;

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

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

46 Then they came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar [named] Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road.

47 When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, |Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!|

48 Many were sternly telling him to be quiet, but he kept crying out all the more, |Son of David, have mercy on me!|

49 And Jesus stopped and said, |Call him [here].| So they called the blind man, saying to him, |Take courage, stand up! He is calling for you.|

50 Throwing aside his cloak, he jumped up and came to Jesus.

51 And answering him, Jesus said, |What do you want Me to do for you?| And the blind man said to Him, |Rabboni, [I want] to regain my sight!|

52 And Jesus said to him, |Go; your faith has made you well.| Immediately he regained his sight and [began] following Him on the road.
