Matthew 20 [Context] [Commentary] [Map] 
|
| 17. |
As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the way He said to them, |
| 18. |
"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, |
| 19. |
and will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and scourge and crucify Him, and on the third day He will be raised up." |
| 20. |
Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him. |
| 21. |
And He said to her, "What do you wish?" She *said to Him, "Command that in Your kingdom these two sons of mine may sit one on Your right and one on Your left." |
| 22. |
But Jesus answered, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They *said to Him, "We are able." |
| 23. |
He *said to them, "My cup you shall drink; but to sit on My right and on My left, this is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father." |
| 24. |
And hearing this, the ten became indignant with the two brothers. |
| 25. |
But Jesus called them to Himself and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. |
| 26. |
"It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, |
| 27. |
and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; |
| 28. |
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." |
| 29. |
As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him. |
| 30. |
And two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!" |
| 31. |
The crowd sternly told them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!" |
| 32. |
And Jesus stopped and called them, and said, "What do you want Me to do for you?" |
| 33. |
They *said to Him, "Lord, we want our eyes to be opened." |
| 34. |
Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him. |
