Mark 10:32 - 52

Once again, Jesus tells His followers of His impending betrayal, death and resurrection.  The disciples, probably figuring that NOW is a good time to lay plans for the future (especially if Jesus is going to rise - as they assume - to power), begin to ask for places of prominence in the coming kingdom.  Jesus states that giving places of distinction in the kingdom is not His place of responsibility.  The key to greatness in His kingdom is to be the servant of all.

To illustrate this, Jesus stoops to heal one of the least-productive members of society:  a blind man.  The faith of this blind man in Jesus' power to heal is what brings about his healing.
