26For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.

27But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;

28and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,

29that no flesh should glory in His presence.

29Now as they went out of Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.

30And behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, 'Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!'

31Then the multitude warned them that they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, 'Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!'

32So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, 'What do you want Me to do for you?'

33They said to Him, 'Lord, that our eyes may be opened.'

34So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.
