Luke 18:26-38

²⁶Those hearing it said, “Then who can be saved?”

²⁷Jesus answered, “The things which are impossible with people are possible with God.”

²⁸Peter said, “Well, we have left everything that is our own and have followed you.”

²⁹Jesus then said to them, “Truly, I say to you that there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

³⁰who will not receive much more in this world, and in the world to come, eternal life.”

³¹After he gathered the twelve to himself, he said to them, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that have been written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.

³²For he will be given over to the Gentiles, and will be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon.

³³After whipping him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise again.”

³⁴They understood none of these things, and this word was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.

³⁵It came about that, as Jesus approached Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting by the road begging,

³⁶and hearing a crowd going by, he asked what was happening.

³⁷They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.

³⁸So the blind man cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.”
