Matthew:20:20-28

*
Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee ,
with her sons ,
kneeling down and begging a favor of him .
* "
What is it you wish ?"
he said .
She answered , "
Command that these my two sons may sit upon your right hand and your left in your kingdom ."
* "
None of you indeed shall drink ,"
he answered , "
but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant ,
but belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father ."
*
When the ten heard of this ,
they were indignant at the two brothers ;
*
but Jesus called them to him and said . "
You know how the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them ,
and their great men exercise authority over them .
* "
Not so shall it be among you .
But whoever among you wishes to become great ,
shall be your minister ,
* "
and whoever wishes to be first among you ,
shall be your slave ;
* "
just as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto ,
but to minister ,
and to give his life as a ransom for many ."
