²⁸ And Peter said, See, we have left our own and have followed You. ²⁹ And He said to them, I say to you truly, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God ³⁰ Who will not receive in return many times more in this world and, in the coming age, eternal life. ³¹ Then taking the Twelve aside, He said to them, Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written about the Son of Man through and by the prophets will be fulfilled. ³² For He will be handed over to the Gentiles and will be made sport of and scoffed and jeered at and insulted and spit upon. ³³ They will flog Him and kill Him; and on the third day He will rise again. ³⁴ But they understood nothing of these things; His words were a mystery and hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was telling them. ³⁵ As He came near to Jericho, it occurred that a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. ³⁶ And hearing a crowd going by, he asked what it meant. ³⁷ They told him, Jesus of Nazareth is passing by. ³⁸ And he shouted, saying, Jesus, Son of David, take pity and have mercy on me! ³⁹ But those who were in front reproved him, telling him to keep quiet; yet he screamed and shrieked so much the more, Son of David, take pity and have mercy on me! ⁴⁰ Then Jesus stood still and ordered that he be led to Him; and when he came near, Jesus asked him, ⁴¹ What do you want Me to do for you? He said, Lord, let me receive my sight! ⁴² And Jesus said to him, Receive your sight! Your faith (your trust and confidence that spring from your faith in God) has healed you. ⁴³ And instantly he received his sight and began to follow Jesus, recognizing, praising, and honoring God; and all the people, when they saw it, praised God.
