Matthew 20:17- 34

Jesus tells His disciples plainly that He will be heading to Jerusalem where He will die.  His disciples are so distraught, that they immediately begin to argue over who will be the greatest beneficiary when He is gone!  Two blind men along the road have the right idea, however.  They cry out for Jesus to show them mercy and give them sight.  Jesus readiliy answers this request; and lovingly refuses to permit the squabbling followers the pleasure of knowing what position they might hold in the coming kingdom.
