MARK 10:36 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?”
What do you want me to do for you? he asked — the question is the same Jesus will ask blind Bartimaeus in verse 51. The contrast is deliberate: James and John answer with an ambition request; Bartimaeus answers with a healing request. The disciples who have seen everything ask for status; the blind beggar on the roadside asks for sight. The irony indicts James and John by comparison.
