  1 Corinthians 1:26–29

  **Show the text**

  26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;

  27 but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.

  28 God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,

  29 that no flesh should boast before God.

- Gospel

  Matthew 20:29–34

  **Show the text**

  29 As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

  30 Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”

  31 The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”

  32 Jesus stood still, and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”

  33 They told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”

  34 Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.
