25But Jesus called them to him, and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
26It shall not be so among you, but whoever would become great among you will be your servant.
27Whoever would be first among you will be your bondservant,
28even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
29As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
30Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!"
31The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, "Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!"
