“But Jesus called them to Himself and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. "It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
Matthew 20:25-28 NASU

“As they were leaving Jericho,
a large crowd followed Him.
And two blind men sitting by
the road, hearing that Jesus
was passing by, cried out,
"Lord, have mercy on us, Son
of David!” (Matt. 20:29-30,
NASU)
“As He passed by, He saw a man
blind from birth. And His disciples
asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this
man or his parents, that he would be
born blind?” (John 9:1-2)

David, have mercy on us!”
