* And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way , and said unto them , * Behold , we go up to Jerusalem ; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes , and they shall condemn him to death , * And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock , and to scourge , and to crucify him : and the third day he shall rise again . * Then came to him the mother of Zebedee 's children with her sons , worshipping him , and desiring a certain thing of him . * And he said unto her , What wilt thou ? She saith unto him , Grant that these my two sons may sit , the one on thy right hand , and the other on the left , in thy kingdom . * But Jesus answered and said , Ye know not what ye ask . Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of , and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with ? They say unto him , We are able . * And he saith unto them , Ye shall drink indeed of my cup , and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with : but to sit on my right hand , and on my left , is not mine to give , but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father . * And when the ten heard it , they were moved with indignation against the two brethren . * But Jesus called them unto him , and said , Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them , and they that are great exercise authority upon them . * But it shall not be so among you : but whosoever will be great among you , let him be your minister ; * And whosoever will be chief among you , let him be your servant : * Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto , but to minister , and to give his life a ransom for many . * And as they departed from Jericho , a great multitude followed him . * And , behold , two blind men sitting by the way side , when they heard that Jesus passed by , cried out , saying , Have mercy on us , O Lord , thou Son of David . * And the multitude rebuked them , because they should hold their peace : but they cried the more , saying , Have mercy on us , O Lord , thou Son of David . * And Jesus stood still , and called them , and said , What will ye that I shall do unto you ? * They say unto him , Lord , that our eyes may be opened . * So Jesus had compassion on them , and touched their eyes : and immediately their eyes received sight , and they followed him .
