Mark 10:32-41

Jesus' Sufferings Foretold

32 ¹They were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking on ahead of them; and they ²were amazed, and those who followed were fearful. And again He took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him,

33 saying, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and ³the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and will hand Him over to the Gentiles.

34 "They will mock Him and ⁴spit on Him, and scourge Him and kill Him, and three days later He will rise again."

35 ⁵James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, came up to Jesus, saying, "Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever * we ask of You."

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

37 They said to Him, "Grant that we ⁶may sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory."

38 But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able ⁷to drink the cup that I drink, or ⁸to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?"

39 They said to Him, "We are able." And Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink ⁹you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized.

40 "But to sit on My right or on My left, this is not Mine to give; ¹⁰but it is for those for whom it has been prepared."

41 ¹¹Hearing this, the ten began to feel indignant with James and John.
