*
Presently there came up to him Jamesand John ,
the sons of Zebedee ,
and said , "
Teacher ,
we wish you would do for us whatever we ask you ."
* "
What is it you want me to do for you ?"
said he .
*
They answered , "
Allow us to sit ,
one at your right hand ,
and the other at your left hand ,
in your glory ."
* "
You know not what you are asking ,"
said Jesus . "
Can you drink the cup that I drink ,
or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with ?"
*
They answered him , "
We can ." "
You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink ,
and with the baptism that I am baptized with shall you be baptized ,
*
but a seat upon my right hand or my left is not mine to grant ,
but it is for those for whom it has been reserved ."
*
When they heard this the ten began to be indignant at Jamesand John ,
so Jesus called them to him and said .
* "
You know that those who are regarded as rulers among the Gentiles lord it over them ,
and their great ones make them feel their authority .
*
Not so shall it be among you .
On the contrary whoever would become great among you shall be your servant ;
*
and whoever among you would be first ,
shall be slave of all ,
*
and justly ,
for even the Son of man came not to be served ,
but to serve ,
and to give his life ,
a ransom for many ."
