Mark, Day Seventeen

Mark 10:32-52

• So yesterday I said that at least the disciples had enough sense not to tell Jesus they were discussing who would be the greatest.  But today 2 of them (James and John) forgot that sense.  They actually asked Jesus to be at his right and left hand.  Just after Jesus has been teaching that the first will be last and the last will be first.  And that he will be arrested, tortured and killed.  Goodness gracious, these disciples are dim-witted. 
• And then Jesus heals a blind man.

And that's all for today!
