31. And taking the twelve aside, He said to them, “See, we are going up to Yerushalayim, and all that have been written by the prophets about the Son of Aḏam shall be accomplished.
32. “For He shall be delivered up to the gentiles and shall be mocked and insulted and spat upon,
33. and having flogged Him they shall kill Him. And on the third day He shall rise again.”
34. But they understood none of this, and this word was hidden from them, and they did not know what was being said.
35. And it came to be, that as He was coming near Yeriḥo, that a certain blind man was sitting by the way begging.
36. And hearing a crowd passing by, he asked what it meant.
37. And they reported to him that יהושע of Natsareth was passing by.
38. And he cried out, saying, “יהושע, Son of Dawiḏ, have compassion on me!”
39. And those going before were rebuking him that he should be silent, but he was crying out much more, “Son of Dawiḏ, have compassion on me!”
40. And יהושע stopped and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him,
41. saying, “What do you wish Me to do for you?” And he said, “Master, to receive my sight.”
42. And יהושע said to him, “Receive your sight! Your belief has saved you.”
43. And immediately he received his sight, and was following Him, praising Elohim. And all the people, seeing it, gave praise to Elohim.
