will
rise again. [18:34]And they understood nothing of these things; and
this word was concealed from them, and they did not perceive what was
said.

2 [18:35]And when they came nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by
the way, begging. [18:36]And hearing the multitude passing by he
inquired what it meant. [18:37]And they told him, Jesus the Nazoraean
is passing by. [18:38]And he cried, saying, Jesus, Son of David, have
mercy on me. [18:39]And those going before charged him to be still; but
he cried much more, Son of David, have mercy on me. [18:40]And Jesus
stopping, commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near he
asked him, [18:41]saying, What do you wish me to do for you? And he
said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. [18:42]And Jesus said to him,
Receive your sight; your faith has cured you. [18:43]And he immediately
received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God; and all the
people seeing it gave praise to God.

3 [19:1]And entering into Jericho he passed through it. [19:2]And

down, and received him rejoicing. [19:7]And seeing it, they all
complained, saying, He has gone in to stop with a sinner.

4 [19:8]And Zaccheus stood up and said to the Lord, Behold, half of my
property, Lord, I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of
any thing, I restore fourfold. [19:9]And Jesus said to him, To-day has
salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;
[19:10]for the Son of man has come to seek and save the lost.

5 [19:11]And when they were hearing these things, he added and spoke a
parable, because he was nigh Jerusalem; and they thought that the
kingdom of God was immediately to appear. [19:12]He said, therefore, A
certain nobleman went into a distant country to receive a kingdom for
himself, and to return. [19:13]And calling his ten servants, he gave
