Mattithyahu (Matthew) 20:17-34

Mattithyahu (Matthew) 20:17-34 TS2009

And יהושע, going up to Yerushalayim, took the twelve taught ones aside on the way and said to them, “See, we are going up to Yerushalayim, and the Son of Aḏam shall be delivered up to the chief priests and to the scribes. And they shall condemn Him to death, and deliver Him to the nations to mock and to flog and to impale. And the third day He shall be raised.” Then the mother of the sons of Zaḇdai came to Him with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him. And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to Him, “Command that these two sons of mine might sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your reign.” But יהושע answering, said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and to be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with?” They said to Him, “We are able.” And He said to them, “You shall indeed drink My cup, and you shall be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with. But to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.” And when the ten heard it, they were displeased at the two brothers. But יהושע called them near and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations are masters over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. “But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever wishes to be first among you, let him be your servant,” even as the Son of Aḏam did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” And as they were leaving Yeriḥo, a large crowd followed Him. And see, two blind men sitting by the way, having heard that יהושע was passing by, cried out, saying, “Have compassion on us, O Master, Son of Dawiḏ!” And the crowd rebuked them that they should be silent, but they cried out all the more, saying, “Have compassion on us, O Master, Son of Dawiḏ!” And יהושע stopped and called them, and said, “What do you wish Me to do for you?” They said to Him, “Master, that our eyes be opened.” And having been moved with compassion, יהושע touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.
