Mark:10:35-45

*
James and John ,
the sons of Zebedee ,
came near to him ,
saying , "
Teacher ,
we want you to do for us whatever we will ask ."
*
He said to them , "
What do you want me to do for you ?"
*
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 ."
*
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 ?"
*
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 ;
*
but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give ,
but for whom it has been prepared ."
*
When the ten heard it ,
they began to be indignant towards James and John .
*
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 .
*
But it shall not be so among you ,
but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant .
*
Whoever of you wants to become first among you ,
shall be bondservant 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 ."
