20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, and
kneeling before him, she asked a favor of him. 21 And he said to her, "What
do you want?" She said to him, "Declare that these two sons of mine will
sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom." 22
But Jesus answered, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able
to drink the cup that I am about to drink?"F150 They said to
him, "We are able." 23 He said to them, "You will indeed drink my cup,
but to sit at my right hand and at my left, this is not mine to grant,
but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father." 24 When
the ten heard it, they were angry with the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called
them to him and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it
over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. 26 It will not be
so among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant,
27 and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave; 28 just
as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life
a ransom for many."

35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward to him and said to
him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you." 36 And
he said to them, "What is it you want me to do for you?" 37 And they said
to him, "Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left,
in your glory." 38 But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are
asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with
the baptism that I am baptized with?" 39 They replied, "We are able." Then
Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the
baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; 40 but to sit at
my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for
whom it has been prepared." 41 When the ten heard this, they began to be
angry with James and John. 42 So Jesus called them and said to them, "You
know that among the Gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers
lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. 43 But it
is not so among you; but whoever wishes to become great among you must
be your servant, 44 and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave
of all. 45 For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to
give his life a ransom for many."

24 A dispute also arose among them as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest. 25 But he said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors. 26 But not so with you; rather the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like one who serves. 27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. | |
