- They were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking on ahead of them; and they were amazed, and those who followed were fearful. And again He took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him,
- saying, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and will hand Him over to the Gentiles.
- "They will mock Him and spit on Him, and scourge Him and kill Him, and three days later He will rise again."
- James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, came up to Jesus, saying, "Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You."
- And He said to them, "What do you want Me to do for you?"
|
- They said to Him, "Grant that we may sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory."
- But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?"
- They said to Him, "We are able." And Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized.
- "But to sit on My right or on My left, this is not Mine to give; but it is for those for whom it has been prepared."
- Hearing this, the ten began to feel indignant with James and John.
|
- Calling them to Himself, Jesus said to them, "You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great men exercise authority over them.
- "But it is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant;
- and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all.
- "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."
