Matthew 20:20-29

20Then cameG4334 to him the motherG3384 of the sonsG5207 of ZebedeeG2199, with her sonsG5207, doing homage, and askingG154 somethingG5100 of him.

21And he saidG3004 to her, What wilt thou? She saysG3004 to him, SpeakG3004 [the word] that these my twoG1417 sonsG5207 may sitG2523, oneG1520 on thy rightG1188 handG1188 and oneG1520 on thy left in thy kingdomG932.

22And JesusG2424 answeringG611 saidG3004, Ye know not what ye askG154. Can ye drinkG4095 the cupG4221 which I am about to drinkG4095? They sayG3004 to him, We are ableG1410.

23[And] he saysG3004 to them, Ye shall drinkG4095 indeed my cupG4221, but to sitG2523 on my rightG1188 handG1188 and on [my] left, isG1510 not mine to giveG1325, but to those for whom it isG1510 preparedG2090 of my FatherG3962.

24And the tenG1176, having heardG191 [of it], were indignantG23 about the twoG1417 brothersG80.

25But JesusG2424 having called them to [him], saidG3004, Ye know that the rulersG758 of the nationsG1484 exerciseG2715 lordship over them, and the greatG3173 exerciseG2715 authorityG2715 over them.

26It shall not beG1510 thusG3779 amongst you, but whosoever will beG1510 greatG3173 among you, shall beG1510 your servantG1249;

27and whosoever will beG1510 firstG4413 among you, let him beG1510 your bondman;

28as indeed the SonG5207 of manG444 did not comeG2064 to be servedG1247, but to serveG1247, and to giveG1325 his lifeG5590 a ransomG3083 for manyG4183.

29And as they wentG1607 out from JerichoG2410 a greatG4183 crowdG3793 followedG190 him.
