²⁸ Then Peter said, "Look! We have left our homes to follow you." ²⁹ "Yes," Jesus said to them, "and I assure you that anyone who leaves home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the Kingdom of God ³⁰ will receive much more in this present age and eternal life in the age to come." ³¹ Jesus took the twelve disciples aside and said to them, "Listen! We are going to Jerusalem where everything the prophets wrote about the Son of Man will come true. ³² He will be handed over to the Gentiles, who will make fun of him, insult him, and spit on him. ³³ They will whip him and kill him, but three days later he will rise to life." ³⁴ But the disciples did not understand any of these things; the meaning of the words was hidden from them, and they did not know what Jesus was talking about. ³⁵ As Jesus was coming near Jericho, there was a blind man sitting by the road, begging. ³⁶ When he heard the crowd passing by, he asked, "What is this?" ³⁷ "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by," they told him. ³⁸ He cried out, "Jesus! Son of David! Have mercy on me!" ³⁹ The people in front scolded him and told him to be quiet. But he shouted even more loudly, "Son of David! Have mercy on me!" ⁴⁰ So Jesus stopped and ordered the blind man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, ⁴¹ "What do you want me to do for you?" "Sir," he answered, "I want to see again." ⁴² Jesus said to him, "Then see! Your faith has made you well." ⁴³ At once he was able to see, and he followed Jesus, giving thanks to God. When the crowd saw it, they all praised God.
