32They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was to happen to him,
33saying, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death; then they will hand him over to the Gentiles;
34they will mock him, and spit upon him, and flog him, and kill him; and after three days he will rise again.”
46They came to Jericho. As he and his disciples and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside.
47When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
48Many sternly ordered him to be quiet, but he cried out even more loudly, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
49Jesus stood still and said, “Call him here.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart; get up, he is calling you.”
50So throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus.
51Then Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “My teacher, let me see again.”
52Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has made you well.” Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the way.
