Luke Chapter 18 Verse 40And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,

‹Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.›

Then he took [unto him] the twelve, and said unto them, ‹Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.›

‹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.

Saying, ‹What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee?› And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

And Jesus said unto him, ‹Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.›

And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw [it], gave praise unto God.

And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho.

And, behold, [there was] a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that [way].

And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, ‹Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.›

And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

And when they saw [it], they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
