nd in the world
to come eternal life. But many that are first shall be last; and the
last first."

And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before
them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid.
And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should
happen unto him, saying:

"Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered
unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn
him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: and they shall
mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall
kill him: and the third day he shall rise again."

And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying,
"Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall
desire."

And he said unto them, "What would ye that I should do for you?"

They said unto him, "Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right
hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory."

But Jesus said unto them, "Ye know not what ye ask; can ye drink of the
cup that I drink of, and be baptized with the baptism that I am
baptized with?"

And they said unto him, "We can."

And Jesus said unto them, "Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I
drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be
baptized: but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine
to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared."

And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James
and John. But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them:

"Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles
exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority
upon them. But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be
great among you, shall be your minister: and whosoever of you will be
the chiefest, shall be servant of all. For even the Son of man came
not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a
ransom for many."

And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his
disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of
Timasus, sat by the highway side begging. And when he heard that it
was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, "Jesus, thou son
of David, have mercy on me."

And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the
more a great deal, "Thou son of David, have mercy on me."
