20. Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.

21. He said to her,"What do you want?"She said to him, "Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom."

22. But Jesus answered,"You don't know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"They said to him, "We are able."

23. He said to them,"You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with, but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father."

24. When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.

25. But Jesus summoned them, and said,"You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

26. It shall not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you shall beyour servant.

27. Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant,

28. even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

35. James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask."

36. He said to them,"What do you want me to do for you?"

37. They said to him, "Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand, and one at your left hand, in your glory."

38. But Jesus said to them,"You don't know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"

39. They said to him, "We are able."Jesus said to them,"You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;

40. but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared."

41. When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards James and John.

42. Jesus summoned them, and said to them,"You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

43. But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.

44. Whoever of you wants to become first among you, shall be bondservant of all.

45. For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
