Matthew 20:26-34 ▼

26 It shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

27 and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave—

28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

29 As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him.

30 And there were two blind men sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”

31 The crowd admonished them to be silent, but they cried out all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”

32 Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want Me to do for you?” He asked.

33 “Lord,” they answered, “let our eyes be opened.”

34 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and at once they received their sight and followed Him.
