Matthew 20:17-34

Matthew 20:17-34 YLT98

And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples by themselves in the way, and said to them, ‘Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify, and the third day he will rise again.’ Then came near to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing and asking something from him, and he said to her, ‘What wilt thou?’ She saith to him, ‘Say, that they may sit — these my two sons — one on thy right hand, and one on the left, in thy reign.’ And Jesus answering said, ‘Ye have not known what ye ask for yourselves; are ye able to drink of the cup that I am about to drink? and with the baptism that I am baptized with, to be baptized?’ They say to him, ‘We are able.’ And he saith to them, ‘Of my cup indeed ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with ye shall be baptized; but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but — to those for whom it hath been prepared by my father.’ And the ten having heard, were much displeased with the two brothers, and Jesus having called them near, said, ‘Ye have known that the rulers of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those great do exercise authority over them, but not so shall it be among you, but whoever may will among you to become great, let him be your ministrant; and whoever may will among you to be first, let him be your servant; even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.’ And they going forth from Jericho, there followed him a great multitude, and lo, two blind men sitting by the way, having heard that Jesus doth pass by, cried, saying, ‘Deal kindly with us, sir — Son of David.’ And the multitude charged them that they might be silent, and they cried out the more, saying, ‘Deal kindly with us sir — Son of David.’ And having stood, Jesus called them, and said, ‘What will ye [that] I may do to you?’ they say to him, ‘Sir, that our eyes may be opened;’ and having been moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
