hing of him. [20:21]And he
said to her, What do you wish? She said to him, Say that these my two
sons shall sit, one on your right hand, and the other on your left, in
your kingdom. [20:22]But Jesus answered and said, You know not what you
ask. Can you drink of the cup of which I am about to drink? They said
to him, We can. [20:23]He said to them; you shall drink indeed of my
cup; but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give,
but to those for whom it is prepared by my Father. [20:24]And the ten
hearing this were displeased with the two brothers. [20:25]But Jesus
called them to him, and said, You know that the rulers of the gentiles
exercise lordship over them, and the great exercise authority over
them; but it shall not be so among you. [20:26]But whoever wishes to be
great among you, let him be your minister; [20:27]and whoever wishes to
be first among you, let him be your servant, [20:28]as the Son of man
came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for
many.

CHAPTER XVIII.

CHRIST CURING TWO BLIND MEN.--ENTERING JERUSALEM IN TRIUMPH, AND
CURSING THE FIG TREE.

1 [20:29]AND as they proceeded from Jericho a great multitude followed
him. [20:30]And behold two blind men who sat by the way, hearing that
Jesus was passing by cried, saying, Have mercy on us Lord, Son of
David! [20:31]And the multitude charged them to be still; but they
cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us Lord, Son of David! [20:32]And
Jesus stopped, and called them and said, What do you wish me to do for
you? [20:33]They said to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
[20:34]And Jesus having compassion on them, touched their eyes; and
immediately they recovered their sight and followed him.

2 [21:1]And when they approached Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at
the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, [21:2]and said to
them, Go into the village opposite to you, and you will immediately
find an ass tied, and a colt with her; untie them, and lead them to me:
[21:3]and if any one asks you why, say that the Lord has need of them,
and he will immediately send them. [21:4] But all this was done that
the words spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled, who says;
[21:5]Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your king comes to you, meek,
seated on an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

3 [21:6]And the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them,
[21:7]and brought the ass and the colt, and put garmen
