Luke 18:34

32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.

33 They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”

But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.

35 As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.

36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
