Matthew 20:20-28

20ThenG5119 theG3588 motherG3384 of Zebedee’sG2199 sonsG5207 cameG4334 toG846 Jesus withG3326 herG846 sonsG5207 and knelt downG4352 to make a requestG154G5100 ofG575 HimG846.

21“WhatG5101 do you wantG2309?” He inquiredG2036.

She answeredG3004G846, “DeclareG2036 thatG2443 inG1722 YourG4771 kingdomG932 oneG1520 of theseG3778 twoG1417 sonsG5207 of mineG1473 may sitG2523 atG1537 YourG4771 right handG1188, andG2532 the other atG1537 YourG4771 leftG2176.”

22“You do not knowG3756G1492 whatG5101 you are askingG154,” JesusG2424 repliedG611. “Can youG1410 drinkG4095 theG3588 cupG4221 IG1473 am goingG3195 to drinkG4095?”1

“We canG1410,” the brothers answeredG3004G846.

23“You will indeed drinkG3303G4095 MyG1473 cupG4221,”2 Jesus saidG3004. “ButG1161 to sitG2523 atG1537 MyG1473 rightG1188 or leftG2176 isG1510 notG3756 MineG1699 to grantG1325. These seats belong to those for whomG3739 MyG1473 FatherG3962 has prepared themG2090.”

24WhenG2532 theG3588 tenG1176 heard aboutG191 this, they were indignantG23 withG4012 theG3588 twoG1417 brothersG80. 25ButG1161 JesusG2424 called them asideG4341G846 and saidG2036, “You knowG1492 thatG3754 theG3588 rulersG758 of theG3588 GentilesG1484 lord it overG2634 themG846, andG2532 their superiorsG3173 exercise authority overG2715 themG846. 26It shall not beG3756G1510 this wayG3779 amongG1722 youG4771. InsteadG235, whoeverG3739G1437 wantsG2309 to becomeG1096 greatG3173 amongG1722 youG4771 must beG1510 yourG4771 servantG1249, 27andG2532 whoeverG3739G302 wantsG2309 to beG1510 firstG4413 amongG1722 youG4771 must beG1510 yourG4771 slaveG1401— 28just asG5618 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 did not comeG3756G2064 to be servedG1247, butG235 to serveG1247, andG2532 to giveG1325 HisG846 lifeG5590 as a ransomG3083 forG473 manyG4183.”
