Context of Matthew 20:18

16So the last shall be first, and the first, last.” 17As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the road He said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, 19and they will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and flog and crucify, and on the third day He will be raised up.” 20Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him.
