Matthew 20:17-19

The First-Last Kingdom, the Ransom-Giving Son of Man, and Mercy for the Blind

Matthew moves from the parable of equal wages and kingdom generosity, to the first-last reversal, to Jesus’ third passion prediction, to status-seeking by James and John, to Jesus’ teaching on servant greatness, to the climactic ransom saying, and finally to the healing of two blind men who cry to the Son of David for mercy and follow him.

17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside and said,

18 “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn Him to death

19 and will deliver Him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. And on the third day He will be raised to life.”
