Matthew 20:25-34 ▼

25 and Jesus having called them near, said, “You have known that the rulers of the nations exercise lordship over them, and those [who are] great exercise authority over them,

26 but not so will it be among you, but whoever may will among you to become great, let him be your servant;

27 and whoever may will among you to be first, let him be your servant;

28 even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give His life [as] a ransom for many.”

29 And they going forth from Jericho, there followed Him a great multitude,

30 and behold, two blind men sitting by the way, having heard that Jesus passes by, cried, saying, “Deal kindly with us, Lord—Son of David.”

31 And the multitude charged them that they might be silent, and they cried out the more, saying, “Deal kindly with us Lord—Son of David.”

32 And having stood, Jesus called them and said, “What do you will [that] I may do to you?”

33 They say to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened”;

34 and having been moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.
