⁴¹ saying, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

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

²¹ And He said to her, “What do you wish?”

She said to Him, “Grant that these two sons of mine ^(A)may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.”

²² But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink ^(B)the cup that I am about to drink, ^[a]and be baptized with ^(C)the baptism that I am baptized with?”

They said to Him, “We are able.”

^5 (A)At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon ^(B)in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?”

^6 (C)And Solomon said: “You have shown great mercy to Your servant David my father, because he ^(D)walked before You in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You; You have continued this great kindness for him, and You ^(E)have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. ⁷ Now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a ^(F)little child; I do not know how ^(G)to go out or come in. ⁸ And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You ^(H)have chosen, a great people, ^(I)too numerous to be numbered or counted. ^9 (J)Therefore give to Your servant an ^[a]understanding heart ^(K)to judge Your people, that I may ^(L)discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”

¹⁰ The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. ¹¹ Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have ^(M)not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, ^12 (N)behold, I have done according to your words; ^(O)see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. ¹³ And I have also ^(P)given you what you have not asked: both ^(Q)riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days. ¹⁴ So ^(R)if you walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, ^(S)as your father David walked, then I will ^(T)lengthen^[b] your days.”

¹⁵ Then Solomon ^(U)awoke; and indeed it had been a dream. And he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and ^(V)made a feast for all his servants.

^6 (A)Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with ^(B)thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

²⁵ But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
