Matthew:20:20-28
tcent@Matthew:20:20 @ Then the mother of Zebedees sons came to him with her sons and, kneeling down, asked something of him.
tcent@Matthew:20:21 @ And he said to her, »What do you want?« She said to him, »Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.«
tcent@Matthew:20:22 @ But Jesus answered, »You do not know what you are asking for. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?« They said to him, »We are able.«
tcent@Matthew:20:23 @ He said to them, »You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right or my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.«
tcent@Matthew:20:24 @ And when the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.
tcent@Matthew:20:25 @ But Jesus called them to him and said, »You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.
tcent@Matthew:20:26 @ Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you must be your servant.
tcent@Matthew:20:27 @ And whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave
tcent@Matthew:20:28 @ just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.«
