New Testament:  Mark 10:32-52

Mark 10 : 32-52

Jesus Again Predicts His Death
 32  They were now on the way up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. The disciples were filled with awe, and the people following behind were overwhelmed with fear. Taking the twelve disciples aside, Jesus once more began to describe everything that was about to happen to him.  33  "Listen," he said, "we're going up to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man [33]  will be betrayed to the leading priests and the teachers of religious law. They will sentence him to die and hand him over to the Romans. [33]   34  They will mock him, spit on him, flog him with a whip, and kill him, but after three days he will rise again."

Jesus Teaches about Serving Others
 35  Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came over and spoke to him. "Teacher," they said, "we want you to do us a favor."
   36  "What is your request?" he asked.
   37  They replied, "When you sit on your glorious throne, we want to sit in places of honor next to you, one on your right and the other on your left."
   38  But Jesus said to them, "You don't know what you are asking! Are you able to drink from the bitter cup of suffering I am about to drink? Are you able to be baptized with the baptism of suffering I must be baptized with?"
   39  "Oh yes," they replied, "we are able!"
  Then Jesus told them, "You will indeed drink from my bitter cup and be baptized with my baptism of suffering.  40  But I have no right to say who will sit on my right or my left. God has prepared those places for the ones he has chosen."
   41  When the ten other disciples heard what James and John had asked, they were indignant.  42  So Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them.  43  But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant,  44  and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else.  45  "For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many." Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus
 46  Then they reached Jericho, and as Jesus and his disciples left town, a large crowd followed him. A blind beggar named Bartimaeus (son of Timaeus) was sitting beside the road.  47  When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was nearby, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"
   48  "Be quiet!" many of the people yelled at him.
  But he only shouted louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
   49  When Jesus heard him, he stopped and said, "Tell him to come here."
  So they called the blind man. "Cheer up," they said. "Come on, he's calling you!"  50  Bartimaeus threw aside his coat, jumped up, and came to Jesus.
   51  "What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked. "My rabbi," the blind man said, "I want to see!"    52  And Jesus said to him, "Go, for your faith has healed you." Instantly the man could see, and he followed Jesus down the road.
<<  10:33a "Son of Man" is a title Jesus used for himself. 10:33b Greek the Gentiles.
<<  10:51 Greek uses the Hebrew term Rabboni.
<<  10:52 Or on the way.
