Matthew 20:28

Verse 28 of 34. The 20th of 28 chapters in Matthew, in The Gospels.

24When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.

25But Jesus summoned them, and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

26It shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.

27Whoever desires to be first among you shall 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!”

32Jesus stood still and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”
