Luke 18:28-43

New King James Version

^28 (A)Then Peter said, “See, we have left ^[a]all and followed You.”

²⁹ So He said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, ^(B)there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, ^30 (C)who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.”

Jesus a Third Time Predicts His Death and Resurrection^(D)

^31 (E)Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things ^(F)that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be ^[b]accomplished. ³² For ^(G)He will be delivered to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon. ³³ They will scourge Him and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again.”

^34 (H)But they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know the things which were spoken.

A Blind Man Receives His Sight^(I)

^35 (J)Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging. ³⁶ And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. ³⁷ So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. ³⁸ And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, ^(K)Son of David, have mercy on me!”

³⁹ Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁰ So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him, ⁴¹ saying, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

He said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight.”

⁴² Then Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; ^(L)your faith has made you well.” ⁴³ And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, ^(M)glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
