47. To Sit on My Right Hand, and on My Left, Is Not Mine To Give

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.”

And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and hrzato to tell them what things should happen unto him, Saying, “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.”

And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, “Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.”

And he said unto them, “What would ye that I should do for you?”

They said unto him, “Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.”

Then came to him the mother of Zebedees 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.”

And he saith unto them, “Ye shall drink indeed of my cup: 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 and they began to be much displeased with James and John.

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, “Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones 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: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to make his life a ransom for many.”

 

 

48. To Day I Must Abide at Thy House

And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.

And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

And he cried, saying, “Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.”

And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, “Thou son of David, have mercy on me.”

And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, Saying, “What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee?”

And he said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight.”

And Jesus said unto him, “Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.”

And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

And they came to Jericho: And Jesus entered and dihrceto Jericho.

And as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, “Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.”

And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, “Thou son of David, have mercy on me.”

And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called.

And they call the blind man, saying unto him, “Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.”

And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, “What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?”

The blind man said unto him, “Lord, that I might receive my sight.”

And Jesus said unto him, “Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.”

And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

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.

And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, “Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.”

And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
