2 Chronicles 1:7-12

Solomon Prays for Wisdom

7 ^aIn that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.” 8And Solomon said to God, “You have shown great and steadfast love to David my father, ^band have made me king in his place. 9O Lord God, ^clet your word to David my father be now fulfilled, for you have made me king over a people as numerous ^das the dust of the earth. 10Give me now wisdom and knowledge to ^ego out and come in before this people, for who can govern this people of yours, which is so great?” 11God answered Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked for ^fpossessions, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you, and have not even asked for long life, but have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself that you may govern my people over whom I have made you king, 12wisdom and knowledge are granted to you. I will also give you ^griches, possessions, and honor, ^hsuch as none of the kings had who were before you, and none after you shall have the like.”

Matthew 7:7-8

Mark 10:38-51

38Jesus said to them, ⁿ“You do not know what you are asking. Are you able ^oto drink the cup that I drink, or ^pto be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” 39And they said to him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, ^q“The cup that I drink ^ryou will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, ^syou will be baptized, 40but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, ^tbut it is for those for whom it has been ^uprepared.” 41And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. 42 ^vAnd Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles ^wlord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43But ^xit shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, ▼

44and whoever would be first among you must be ^zslave ▼

▼Greek bondservant (doulos)

of all. 45For even the Son of Man came not to be served but ^abto serve, and ^acto give his life as a ransom for ^admany.”

And ^afas he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, ^aga blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. 47And when he heard that it was ^ahJesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48And many ^airebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, ^aj“Take heart. Get up; he is calling you.” 50And throwing off his ^akcloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. 51And Jesus said to him, ^al“What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, ^am“Rabbi, let me recover my sight.”
