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).
