²⁸ Peter said to him, "We have left everything we had in order to follow you!" ²⁹ "What I'm about to tell you is true," Jesus said to them. "Has anyone left home or family for God's kingdom? ³⁰ They will receive many times as much in this world. In the world to come they will live forever." ³¹ Jesus took the Twelve to one side. He told them, "We are going up to Jerusalem. Everything that the prophets wrote about the Son of Man will come true. ³² He will be handed over to people who are not Jews. They will make fun of him. They will laugh at him and spit on him. They will whip him and kill him. ³³ On the third day, he will rise from the dead!" ³⁴ The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was hidden from them. So they didn't know what Jesus was talking about. ³⁵ Jesus was approaching Jericho. A blind man was sitting by the side of the road begging. ³⁶ The blind man heard the crowd going by. He asked what was happening. ³⁷ They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by." ³⁸ So the blind man called out, "Jesus! Son of David! Have mercy on me!" ³⁹ Those who led the way commanded him to stop. They told him to be quiet. But he shouted even louder, "Son of David! Have mercy on me!" ⁴⁰ Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When the man came near, Jesus spoke to him. ⁴¹ "What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked. "Lord, I want to be able to see," the blind man replied. ⁴² Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you." ⁴³ Right away he could see. He followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God.
