nsb@Mark:10:37 @ They said to him: »Allow us to sit next to you in your glory. One could sit on your right hand, and one on your left hand.«

nsb@Mark:10:38 @ »You do not know what you ask,« Jesus replied. »Are you able to drink the cup that I drink? Are you able to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?«

nsb@Mark:10:39 @ They said: »We are able.« Jesus replied: »The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism that I am baptized you will be baptized.
