Mark 10:35-41

35James and John, sons of Zebedee, went to Jesus. They said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do us a favor.”

36“What do you want me to do for you?” he asked them.

37They said to him, “Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory.”

38Jesus said, “You don’t realize what you’re asking. Can you drink the cup that I’m going to drink? Can you be baptized with the baptism that I’m going to receive?”

39“We can,” they told him. Jesus told them, “You will drink the cup that I’m going to drink. You will be baptized with the baptism that I’m going to receive.

40But I don’t have the authority to grant you a seat at my right or left. Those positions have already been prepared for certain people.”

41When the other ten apostles heard about it, they were irritated with James and John.
