‹For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:›
‹And they shall scourge› [him], ‹and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.›
And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
And he cried, saying, Jesus, [thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.
And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, [Thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.
And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
Saying, ‹What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee?› And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
