Mark 10:35-45

35James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You.”

36And He replied to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

37They said to Him, “Grant that we may sit [with You], one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory [Your majesty and splendor in Your kingdom].”

38But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism [of suffering and death] with which I am baptized?”

39And they replied to Him, “We are able.” Jesus told them, “The cup that I drink you will drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized.

40But to sit on My right or left, this is not Mine to give; but it is for those for whom it has been prepared [by My Father].”

41Hearing this, the [other] ten became indignant with James and John.

42Calling them to Himself, Jesus said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their powerful men exercise authority over them [tyrannizing them].

43But this is not how it is among you; instead, whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant,

44and whoever wishes to be first and most important among you must be slave of all.

45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
