‏ Mark 10:51

 That I should do ( ποιησω ). Neat Greek idiom with aorist subjunctive without  ινα after  θελεις. For this asyndeton (or parataxis) see Robertson, Grammar, p. 430.

 Rabboni ( Ραββουνε ). The Aramaic word translated Lord (Kurie) in Mt 20:33 and Lu 18:41. This very form occurs again in Joh 20:16.

 That I may receive my sight ( ινα αναβλεψω ). To recover sight ( ανα- ), see again. Apparently he had once been able to see. Here  ινα is used though  θελω is not (cf. 10:35). The Messiah was expected to give sight to the blind (Isa 61:1; Lu 4:18; 7:22).
