43But it is not so among you: but whoever has a desire to become great among you, let him be your servant:
44And whoever has a desire to be first among you, let him be servant of all.
45For truly the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.
46And they came to Jericho: and when he was going out of Jericho, with his disciples and a great number of people, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind man, was seated by the wayside, with his hand out for money.
47And when it came to his ears that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he gave a cry, and said, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

49And Jesus came to a stop and said, Let him come. And crying out to the blind man, they said to him, Be comforted: come, he has sent for you.
