20:20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, and kneeling down she asked him for a favor. 1 20:21 He said to her, “What do you want?” She replied, 2 “Permit 3 these two sons of mine to sit, one at your 4 right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” 20:22 Jesus 5 answered, “You don’t know what you are asking! 6 Are you able to drink the cup I am about to drink?” 7 They said to him, “We are able.” 8 20:23 He told them, “You will drink my cup, 9 but to sit at my right and at my left is not mine to give. Rather, it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
20:24 Now 10 when the other ten 11 heard this, 12 they were angry with the two brothers. 20:25 But Jesus called them and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions use their authority over them. 20:26 It must not be this way among you! Instead whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, 20:27 and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave 13 – 20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom 14 for many.”
