²⁸ Peter said, "Remember, we left everything to be your followers!" ²⁹ Jesus answered, "You can be sure that anyone who gives up home or wife or brothers or family or children because of God's kingdom ³⁰ will be given much more in this life. And in the future world they will have eternal life." ³¹ Jesus took the twelve apostles aside and said: We are now on our way to Jerusalem. Everything that the prophets wrote about the Son of Man will happen there. ³² He will be handed over to foreigners, who will make fun of him, mistreat him, and spit on him. ³³ They will beat him and kill him, but three days later he will rise to life. ³⁴ The apostles did not understand what Jesus was talking about. They could not understand, because the meaning of what he said was hidden from them. ³⁵ When Jesus was coming close to Jericho, a blind man sat begging beside the road. ³⁶ The man heard the crowd walking by and asked what was happening. ³⁷ Some people told him that Jesus from Nazareth was passing by. ³⁸ So the blind man shouted, "Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!" ³⁹ The people who were going along with Jesus told the man to be quiet. But he shouted even louder, "Son of David, have pity on me!" ⁴⁰ Jesus stopped and told some people to bring the blind man over to him. When the blind man was getting near, Jesus asked, ⁴¹ "What do you want me to do for you?" "Lord, I want to see!" he answered. ⁴² Jesus replied, "Look and you will see! Your eyes are healed because of your faith." ⁴³ Right away the man could see, and he went with Jesus and started thanking God. When the crowds saw what happened, they praised God.
