22 And Jesus responding said, You know not what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup which I am about to drink? They say to Him, We are able. 23 And He says to them, You shall indeed drink my cup, but to sit on my right, and on my left, this is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father. 24 And the ten hearing were indignant concerning the two brothers. 25 But Jesus calling them to Him, said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles domineer over them, and the great ones exercise authority over them. 26 It shall not be so among you; but whosoever may wish to be great among you, shall be your servant; 27 and whosoever may wish to be first among you, shall be your slave: 28 as the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His soul a ransom for many. 29 And they going out from Jericho, a great multitude followed Him. 30 And behold, two blind men sitting by the wayside, hearing that Jesus is passing by, cried out, saying; Have mercy on us, O son of David. 31 And the multitude rebuked them, that they should keep silent. And they cried out the more, saying; Have mercy on us, O Lord, son of David. 32 Jesus standing, called them, and said, What do you wish that I shall do unto you? 33 They say unto Him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. 34 And Jesus being moved with compassion, touched their eyes: and immediately they looked up; and followed Him.
