Luke 18:35 ¶ As Jesus was approaching Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging.
Luke 18:36 Now hearing a crowd going by, he began to inquire what this was.
Luke 18:37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
Luke 18:38 And he called out, saying, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"
Luke 18:39 Those who led the way were sternly telling him to be quiet; but he kept crying out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
Luke 18:40 And Jesus stopped and commanded that he be brought to Him; and when he came near, He questioned him,
Luke 18:41 "What do you want Me to do for you?" And he said, "Lord, I want to regain my sight!"
Luke 18:42 And Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well."
Luke 19:1 He entered Jericho and was passing through.
Luke 19:2 And there was a man called by the name of Zaccheus; he was a chief tax collector and he was rich.
Luke 19:3 Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, and was unable because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.
Luke 19:4 So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree in order to see Him, for He was about to pass through that way.
Luke 19:5 When Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, "Zaccheus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."
Luke 19:6 And he hurried and came down and received Him gladly.
Luke 19:7 When they saw it, they all began to grumble, saying, "He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner."
Luke 19:8 Zaccheus stopped and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I will give to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give back four times as much."
Luke 19:9 And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham.
Luke 19:10 "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."
Luke 19:11 ¶ While they were listening to these things, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because He was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.
Luke 19:12 So He said, "A nobleman went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself, and then return.
