26. Then those who heard said, “Then who can be saved?”
27. But Yeshua said, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”
28. Then Peter said, “Look, we’ve left everything of our own to follow You.”
29. And Yeshua said to them, “Amen, I tell you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
30. who will not receive many times as much in this age; and in the olam ha-ba , eternal life.”
31. Then Yeshua took the twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we’re going up to Jerusalem, and everything written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be carried out.
32. He will be handed over to the Gentiles, and He will be mocked and insulted and spat upon.
33. After they have scourged Him, they will kill Him. Yet on the third day, He will rise again.”
34. But they understood none of these things; this message was hidden from them, and they did not understand what He was saying.
35. Now as Yeshua was approaching Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting by the road, begging.
36. But when he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37. They told him that Yeshua ha-Natzrati was passing by.
38. And he cried out, saying, “Yeshua, Ben-David, have mercy on me!”
39. And those leading the way were scolding him, so he would be quiet. But he kept shouting all the more, “Ben-David, have mercy on me!”
