22 Jesus answered and said, You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am ready to drink, or be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized? They said to him, We can. 23 He said to them, Indeed my cup you shall drink, and the baptism with which I am to be baptized, you too shall be baptized with; but to sit at my right hand and at my left, that is not mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by my Father. 24 When the ten heard it, they were angry at the two brothers. 25 And Jesus called them and said, You know that the princes of the people are also their owners; and their officials rule over them. 26 Let not this be so among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you, let him be a minister to you; 27 And whoever wishes to be first among you, let him be a servant to you; 28 Just as the Son of man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life as a salvation for the sake of many. 29 And when Jesus went out of Jericho a large crowd followed him. 30 And behold, two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried aloud, saying, Have mercy upon us, O Lord, son of David. 31 But the people rebuked them to keep quiet; but they cried louder, saying, Our Lord, have mercy upon us, son of David. 32 And Jesus stopped and called them, and he said, What do you wish me to do for you? 33 They said to him, Our Lord, that our eyes may be opened. 34 And Jesus had mercy upon them, so he touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes were opened, and they followed him.
