Mark 10:38-51 Yet Jesus said to them, "You have not seen, so are not aware of what you two are now requesting. Do you now have power and do you continue able to drink the cup which I Myself am now progressively drinking, or to be immersed in (or: baptized with) the immersion (baptism) which I Myself am now progressively being immersed (baptized)?"

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁸ Yet Jesus said to them, "You have not seen, so are not aware of what you [two] are now requesting. Do you now have power and do you continue able to drink the cup which I Myself am now progressively drinking, or to be immersed in (or: baptized with) the immersion (baptism) which I Myself am now progressively being immersed (baptized)?" ³⁹ And they said to Him, "We now have power and continue able!" Yet Jesus replied to them, "You folks will progressively drink the cup which I Myself am now progressively drinking, and you will also be progressively immersed in (or: baptized with) the immersion (baptism) which I Myself am now progressively being immersed, unto saturation (baptized). ⁴⁰ "However, the [matter, situation or choice of] to sit down at My right or at My left is not Mine to give, but rather, [it is] for those for whom it has been prepared and made ready." ⁴¹ Well then, hearing [of the incident], the [other] ten began to be indignant and resentful about Jacob (James) and John. ⁴² So Jesus, calling them to Himself, then proceeds laying out His thoughts, saying to them, "You men have seen and are thus aware that those of the ethnic multitudes (or: of the nations, who are non-Jews, or Gentiles) [who] are habitually presuming (or: are normally seeming, appearing or supposing) to be constantly ruling, are habitually exercising full ownership of them while habitually bringing the effects of their lordship down on them, and their great ones are continually exercising complete authority while putting them down under their dominion and coercion. ⁴³ "Yet it does not exist (or: it is not) this way among you folks. To the contrary, whoever may continue intending (wishing; desiring; wanting; purposing) to become great (or: a great or important person) among you will continue existing being your attending servant. ⁴⁴ "And whoever may continue intending (desiring; purposing) to be first among you folks will continue existing being a slave of everyone (or: all). ⁴⁵ "You see, even the Son of the Man (or: And so, the Son of humanity, as well,) did not come to be given attending service, but to the contrary, to give attending service, and further, to give His soul (or: soul life) [as] a ransom payment – for unbinding and release – for, as, in the place of, and thus on behalf of and which corresponds to, many people." ⁴⁶ Next they proceed coming into Jericho. Then, during His continued journeying out, away from Jericho – His disciples and a considerable crowd [being with Him], Bar-Timaeus (or: Bar-Timai) – a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus (Timai) – was sitting, as was his habit, beside the road. ⁴⁷ And upon hearing that it is Jesus the Nazarene (i.e., the Jesus from Nazareth), he started to repeatedly cry out, and to keep on saying, "O Son of David! Jesus! Mercy me (or: Act in mercy to me)!" ⁴⁸ Then many began respectfully chiding and strongly admonishing him to the end that he would be silent. Yet he, to a much greater extent rather kept on crying out, "O Son of David! Mercy me (or: Act in mercy to me)!" ⁴⁹ Then Jesus, standing [still], said, "You folks call him (or: summon him)!" So they proceeded to be calling (summoning) the blind man, while saying to him, "Keep on taking courage and continue confident! Be rousing and proceed getting up! He is now calling (summoning) you." ⁵⁰ Now at once throwing off his outer garment (or: cloak), he, leaping up, came toward Jesus. ⁵¹ Then, giving to him a discerning response, Jesus said, "What do you now want (intend for) Me to do for you?" So the blind man said to Him, "Rabboni (= My Master), [it is] that I can see again (or: recover my sight)!"
