Matthew 20:13-23

13 But he answered one of them, `Look, friend, I'm not being unfair with you. Didn't you agree to work today for a denarius?
14 Now take your pay and go! I choose to give the last worker as much as I'm giving you.
15 Haven't I the right to do what I want with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?'
16 Thus the last ones will be first and the first last."
17 As Yeshua was going up to Yerushalayim, he took the twelve talmidim aside by themselves and said to them, as they went on their way,
18 "We are now going up to Yerushalayim, where the Son of Man will be handed over to the head cohanim and Torah-teachers. They will sentence him to death
19 and turn him over to the Goyim, who will jeer at him, beat him and execute him on a stake as a criminal. But on the third day, he will be raised."
20 Then Zavdai's sons came to Yeshua with their mother. She bowed down, begging a favor from him.
21 He said to her, "What do you want?" She replied, "Promise that when you become king, these two sons of mine may sit, one on your right and the other on your left."
22 But Yeshua answered, "You people don't know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to him, "We can."
23 He said to them, "Yes, you will drink my cup. But to sit on my right and on my left is not mine to give, it is for those for whom my Father has prepared it."
