18:33 They will flog him severely and kill him . Yet on the third day he will rise again .”
18:34 But the twelve understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them , and they did not grasp what Jesus meant .
Healing a Blind Man
18:35 As Jesus approached Jericho , a blind man was sitting by the road begging .
18:36 When he heard a crowd going by , he asked what was going on.
18:37 They told him , “Jesus the Nazarene is passing by .”
18:38 So he called out , “Jesus , Son of David , have mercy on me !”
18:39 And those who were in front scolded him to get him to be quiet , but he shouted even more , “Son of David , have mercy on me !”
18:40 So Jesus stopped and ordered the beggar to be brought to him . When the man came near , Jesus asked him ,
18:41 “What do you want me to do for you?” He replied , “Lord , let me see again .”
18:42 Jesus said to him , “Receive your sight ; your faith has healed you .”
18:43 And immediately he regained his sight and followed Jesus , praising God . When all the people saw it, they too gave praise to God .
