Mark:10:35-45
Seeker Overlay ON
*
James and John ,
the sons of Zebedee ,
came to Jesus and said ,
Master ,
we want you to do for us anything we ask you .
*
Jesus said ,
What do you want me to do for you ?
*
They said ,
Let one of us sit at your right side and one at your left side when you rule .
*
But Jesus said ,
You do not know what you are asking .
Can you drink from the cup that I will drink from ?
Can you go through the big trouble that I will go through ?
*
Yes ,
they said .
We can .
Then Jesus said to them ,
You will drink what I drink and you will have trouble the way I will have .
*
But I cannot choose who will sit at my right hand or at my left .
It has been planned who will sit there .
*
When the other ten disciples heard about it ,
they were angry with James and John .
*
Jesus called them and said ,
You know the people who rule over countries make their people obey them .
The great will tell the others what to do .
*
But that is not the way it is among you .
Anyone among you who wants to be great must help the others .
*
Anyone among you who wants to be first shall be a servant to the others .
*
The Son of Man did not come to have others help him .
But he came to help others .
He came to give his life to make many people free .
