*
And James and John ,
the sons of Zeb '
edee ,
came forward to him ,
and said to him , "
Teacher ,
we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you ."
*
And he said to them , "
What do you want me to do for you ?"
*
And they said to him , "
Grant us to sit ,
one at your right hand and one at your left ,
in your glory ."
*
But Jesus said to them , "
You do not know what you are asking .
Are you able to drink the cup that I drink ,
or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized ?"
*
And they said to him , "
We are able ."
And Jesus said to them , "
The cup that I drink you will drink ;
and with the baptism with which I am baptized ,
you will be baptized ;
*
but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant ,
but it is for those for whom it has been prepared ."
*
And when the ten heard it ,
they began to be indignant at James and John .
*
And Jesus called them to him and said to them , "
You know that those who are supposed to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them ,
and their great men exercise authority over them .
*
But it shall not be so among you ;
but whoever would be great among you must be your servant ,
*
and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all .
*
For the Son of man also came not to be served but to serve ,
and to give his life as a ransom for many ."
