29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you,
There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s,

(10.29)
“There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s,”

30 But
he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands
, with persecutions;
and in the world to come eternal life
.

(10.30)
“He shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands … and in the world to come eternal life.”

31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,

(10.33-34) Jesus explains again (see 8.31) to his disciples about his death and resurrection. Yet John (20.9) claims that the disciples “knew not … that he must rise again from the dead.”
367 Did Jesus tell the disciples about his death and resurrection?

33 Saying, Behold,
we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles
:

(10.33)
“We go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles.”

34
And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

(10.34)
“And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.”

35 And
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying
, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.

36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?

37 They said unto him,
Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.

(10.35-37)
“James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying … Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.”
368 Who asked Jesus for the best seats in heaven?

38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

39 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:

40 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.

41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.

42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them,
Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them
.

43
But so shall it not be among you
: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:

(10.42-43)
“Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. But so shall it not be among you.”
42 Does God approve of slavery?

44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

45 For even
the Son of man came
not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and
to give his life a ransom for many.

(10.45)
“The Son of man came … to give his life a ransom for many.”
370 Was Jesus a ransom for many or for all?

46 And they came to Jericho: and
as he went out of Jericho
with his disciples and a great number of people,
blind Bartimaeus
, the son of Timaeus,
sat by the highway side begging.

(10.46)
“As he went out of Jericho … blind Bartimaeus … sat by the highway side begging.”
371 How many blind men were healed near Jericho?
372 When was the man (or men) healed?

47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.

50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.

52 And
Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight
, and followed Jesus in the way.

(10.52)
“Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight.”

11
And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.

4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
