Matthew:20:20-28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then came to him the mother of Zebedee '
s children with her sons ,
worshipping him ,
and desiring a certain thing of him .
*
And he said unto her ,
What wilt thou ?
She saith unto him ,
Grant that these my two sons may sit ,
the one on thy right hand ,
and the other on the left ,
in thy kingdom .
*
But Jesus answered and said ,
Ye know not what ye ask .
Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of ,
and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with ?
They say unto him ,
We are able .
*
And he saith unto them ,
Ye shall drink indeed 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 it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father .
*
And when the ten heard it ,
they were moved with indignation against the two brethren .
*
But Jesus called them unto him ,
and said ,
Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them ,
and they that are great exercise authority upon them .
*
But it shall not be so among you :
but whosoever will be great among you ,
let him be your minister ;
*
And whosoever will be chief among you ,
let him be your servant :
*
Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto ,
but to minister ,
and to give his life a ransom for many .
