Mark 10:37 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:37

They said unto him
By their mother, or seconding her motion:

grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other
on thy left hand, in thy glory;
or glorious kingdom, which they expected would be quickly set up; and which they might conclude from his having lately promised to all the twelve, that when he should sit on his throne, they should sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel; and from his having just now mentioned his rising from the dead, which they might understand of some revival, or breaking forth of this glorious state; (See Gill on Matthew 20:21).

36 He said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"

37 They replied, "When you are in your glory, let us sit with you, one on your right and the other on your left."

39 They said to him, "We can." Yeshua replied, "The cup that I am drinking, you will drink; and the immersion I am being immersed with, you will undergo.
