Matthew:20:20-28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then the mother of Zebedee '
s children came to Him with her sons ,
worshiping and desiring a certain thing from Him .
*
And He said to her ,
What do you desire ?
She said to Him ,
Grant that these my two sons may sit in Your kingdom ,
the one on Your right hand and the other on the left .
*
But Jesus answered and said ,
You do not know what you ask .
Are you able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of ,
and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with ?
They said to Him ,
We are able .
*
And He said to them ,
You shall indeed drink of My cup and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with ;
but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give ,
but [
to those ]
for whom it has been prepared by My Father .
*
And when the ten heard [
it ],
they were indignant concerning the two brothers .
*
But Jesus called them and said ,
You know that the rulers of the nations exercise dominion over them ,
and they who are great exercise authority over them .
*
However ,
it shall not be so among you .
But whoever desires to be great among you ,
let him be your servant .
*
And whoever desires to be chief among you ,
let him be your servant ;
*
even as the Son of man did not come to be served ,
but to serve ,
and to give His life a ransom for many .
