In this gospel, you will be presented with three questions — “What wilt thou that I shall do to thee?”, “Dost thou believe on the Son of God?”, and “Lovest thou me?”. Each question reveals the heart of Jesus and invites a personal response to His grace, faith, and love.

48 And many rebuked him, that he might be silent; but he cried so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.49 And Jesus, standing still, desired him to be called.

38 And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.”
