Luke 18:33-43
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.
