Mark 10:35–45

³⁵And there come to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying to him, Teacher, we would that whatsoever we may ask thee, thou wouldst do it for us. ³⁶And he said to them, What would ye that I should do for you? ³⁷And they said to him, Give to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy glory. ³⁸And Jesus said to them, Ye do not know what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup which I drink, or be baptised with the baptism that I am baptised with? ³⁹And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, The cup that I drink ye will drink and with the baptism that I am baptised with ye will be baptised, ⁴⁰but to sit on my right hand or on my left is not mine to give, but for those for whom it is prepared. ⁴¹And the ten having heard of it, began to be indignant about James and John. ⁴²But Jesus having called them to him, says to them, Ye know that those who are esteemed to rule over the nations exercise lordship over them; and their great men exercise authority over them; ⁴³but it is not thus among you; but whosoever would be great among you, shall be your minister; ⁴⁴and whosoever would be first of you shall be bondman of all. ⁴⁵For also the Son of man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and give his life a ransom for many.
