38 Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking for. Can you drink what I am drinking, or undergo the baptism that I am undergoing?"
39 They said to him, "Yes, we can." Jesus said to them, "Then you shall drink what I am drinking, and you shall undergo the baptism that I am undergoing;
40 but as for sitting at my right or at my left, that is not mine to give, but belongs to those for whom it is destined."
41 When the other ten heard of this they were at first very indignant at James and John.
42 And Jesus called them to him, and said to them, "You know that those who are supposed to rule the heathen lord it over them, and their great men tyrannize over them;

50 And he threw off his coat and sprang to his feet and went up to Jesus.
51 Jesus spoke to him and said, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "Master, let me regain my sight!"
