SCRIPTURE

"And Jesus stood still, and said, Call ye him. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good cheer: rise, he calleth thee. And he, casting away his garment, sprang up, and came to Jesus. And Jesus answered him, and said, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And the blind man said unto him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight." — Mark 10:49-51 (ASV)

Rise; he calls you. And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. And Jesus answered and said to him, What do you want me to do for you?

Do you notice here a sort of gentle rebuke that the Saviour gives to James and John? Read the 36th verse, and then read this again.

He said to them, What do you want me to do for you? And now here is a blind beggar, and he sweetly puts the same question to him, What do you want me to do for you?
