For He will be delivered to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33
They will scourge Him and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again."
34
But they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know the things which were spoken.
35
Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging.
36
And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant.
37
So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38
And he cried out, saying, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"
39
Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
40
So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him,
41
saying, "What do you want Me to do for you?" He said, "Lord, that I may receive my sight."
42
Then Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well."
43
And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
