Matthew 20:17-22

17While going up to Jerusalem, Jesus took the twelve disciples aside privately and said to them on the way,

18“See, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death.

19They will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked, flogged, and crucified, and on the third day he will be raised.”

20Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons approached him with her sons. She knelt down to ask him for something.

21“What do you want?” he asked her. “Promise,” she said to him, “that these two sons of mine may sit, one on your right and the other on your left, in your kingdom.”

22Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you’re asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?” “We are able,” they said to him.
