Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, worshipping
him and desiring a certain thing of him.
21
And he said unto her, What dost thou desire? She said 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.
22
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.
23
And he said 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 those for whom it is prepared of my Father.
24
And when the ten heard
it, they were moved with indignation against the two brothers.
25
But Jesus called them
unto him and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and those that are great wield power over them.
26
But it shall not be so among you, but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
27
and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your slave,
28
even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many.
