Mark 10:38-51

MLV(i) 38 But Jesus said to them, You do not know what you are asking for yourselves. Are you able to drink the cup that I am drinking? And to be immersed in the immersion that I am immersed in?
39 Now they said to him, We are able.
But Jesus said to them, Indeed the cup that I am drinking, you will be drinking, and the immersion that I am immersed in, you will be immersed in. 40 But to sit at my right and at my left is not mine to give, but it is for them for whom it has been prepared. 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant concerning James and John.
42 Now having called them to him, Jesus says to them, You know that those who seem to rule over the Gentiles are lording it over them, and their great ones are wielding authority over them. 43 But it will not be so among you, but rather, whoever wishes to become great among you will be your servant; 44 and whoever wishes to become first among you will be bondservant of all. 45 For the Son of Man also did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a redemption in exchange-for many.


46 And they come into Jericho, and while traveling from Jericho with his disciples and a considerable crowd, Bartimaeus, the blind son of Timaeus, was sitting and begging beside the road. 47 And when he heard that it is Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, Jesus, you, the son of David, show-mercy to me. 48 And many were rebuking him, in order that he should be silent, but he was crying out much more, Son of David, show-mercy to me.
49 And Jesus stood still and asked for him to be summoned.
And they summon the blind man, saying to him, Have courage. Arise; he is summoning you. 50 Now he came to Jesus, having cast away his garment, and having stood up.
51 And Jesus answered and says to him, What do you wish that I might do for you?
Now the blind man said to him, Rabboni, that I may recover my sight.
