Epistle

Eph 1.22-2.3

Read in context

Brethren, God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ

1:22And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the church,

1:23Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

2:1And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2:2Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

2:3Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

Gospel

Mark 10.46-52

Read in context

At that time, as Jesus

46And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.

47And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, [thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.

48And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, [Thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.

49And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.

50And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

51And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.

52And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
