24. And when the ten heard this, they were indignant concerning the two brothers.
25. But Jesus called them to himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions exercise authority over them.
26. It will not be like this among you! But whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
27. and whoever wants to be most prominent among you must be your slave—
28. just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
29. And as they were going out of Jericho, a large crowd followed him.
30. And behold, there were two blind men sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they called out, saying, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”
31. And the crowd rebuked them so that they would be quiet. But they called out all the more, saying, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”
32. And Jesus stopped, called them, and said, “What do you want me to do for you?”
33. They said to him, “Lord, that our eyes be opened!”
34. And having compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately they received their sight and followed him.
