Mark 10:28-38

28 Peter began to say to him, "See, 1we have left everything and followed you."
29 Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, 2there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and 3for the gospel,
30 who will not receive a hundredfold 4now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, 5with persecutions, and in 6the age to come eternal life.
31 But 7many who are first will be last, and the last first."

Jesus Foretells His Death a Third Time

32 8And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and 9Jesus was walking ahead of them. And 10they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him,
33 saying, "See, 11we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will 12condemn him to death and 13deliver him over to the Gentiles.
34 And they will 14mock him and 15spit on him, and flog him and kill him. And 16after three days he will rise."

The Request of James and John

35 17And James and John, 18the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us 19whatever we ask of you."
36 And he said to them, 20"What do you want me to do for you?"
37 And they said to him, "Grant us 21to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, 22in your glory."
38 Jesus said to them, 23"You do not know what you are asking. Are you able 24to drink the cup that I drink, or 25to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?"
