Matthew 20:17-28

17And as JesusG2424 was goingG305 up to JerusalemG2414, he tookG3880 the twelveG1427 disciplesG3101 apart, and on the wayG3598 he saidG3004 unto them, 18BeholdG2400, we goG305 up to JerusalemG2414; and the SonG5207 of manG444 shall be deliveredG3860 unto the chiefG749 priestsG749 and scribesG1122; and they shall condemnG2632 him to deathG2288, 19and shall deliverG3860 him unto the GentilesG1484 to mockG1702, and to scourge, and to crucifyG4717: and the thirdG5154 dayG2250 he shall be raisedG1453 up.

20Then cameG4334 to him the motherG3384 of the sonsG5207 of ZebedeeG2199 with her sonsG5207, worshipping him, and askingG154 a certainG5100 thing of him. 21And he saidG3004 unto her, What wouldest thou? She saith unto him, Command that these my twoG1417 sonsG5207 may sitG2523, oneG1520 on thy rightG1188 handG1188, and oneG1520 on thy left handG1188, in thy kingdomG932. 22But JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004, Ye know not what ye askG154. Are ye ableG1410 to drinkG4095 the cupG4221 that I am about to drinkG4095? They sayG3004 unto him, We are ableG1410. 23He saith unto them, My cupG4221 indeed ye shall drinkG4095: but to sitG2523 on my rightG1188 handG1188, and on my left handG1188, isG1510 not mine to giveG1325; but it isG1510 for them for whom it hath beenG1510 preparedG2090 of my FatherG3962. 24And when the tenG1176 heardG191 it, they were moved with indignation concerningG4012 the twoG1417 brethren. 25But JesusG2424 called them unto him, and saidG3004, Ye know that the rulersG758 of the GentilesG1484 lord it over them, and their greatG3173 ones exerciseG2715 authorityG2715 over them. 26Not soG3779 shall it beG1510 among you: but whosoever would becomeG1096 greatG3173 among you shall beG1510 your ministerG1249; 27and whosoever would beG1510 firstG4413 among you shall beG1510 your servantG1401: 28evenG2532 as the SonG5207 of manG444 cameG2064 not to be ministeredG1247 unto, but to ministerG1247, and to giveG1325 his lifeG5590 a ransomG3083 for manyG4183.
