* Then the mother of Zebedee 's sons came to Him with her sons , kneeling down and asking something from Him . * And He said to her , "What do you wish ?" She said to Him , "Grant that these two sons of mine may sit , one on Your right hand and the other on the left , in Your kingdom ." * But Jesus answered and said , "You do not know what you ask . Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink , and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with ?" They said to Him , "We are able ." * So He said to them , "You will indeed drink 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 it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father ." * And when the ten heard it , they were greatly displeased with the two brothers . * But Jesus called them to Himself and said , "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them , and those who are great exercise authority over them . * Yet it shall not be so among you ; but whoever desires to become great among you , let him be your servant . * And whoever desires to be first among you , let him be your slave -- * just as the Son of Man did not come to be served , but to serve , and to give His life a ransom for many ."
