Matthew 20:20-29
201ThenG5119 the motherG3384 of 2the 3sonsG5207 of ZebedeeG2199 cameG4334 to 4Jesus with her sonsG5207, 5bowingG4352 downG4352 and makingG154 a requestG154 of Him. 21And He saidG3004 to her, “WhatG5101 do you desireG2309?” She saidG3004 to Him, “SayG3004 that in Your kingdomG932 theseG3778 twoG1417 sonsG5207 of mineG1473 6shall sitG2523, oneG1520 at Your rightG1188, and oneG1520 at Your leftG2176.” 22But JesusG2424 repliedG611G3004, “You do not knowG3609 whatG5101 you are askingG154. Are you ableG1410 7to drinkG4095 the cupG4221 that I amG3195 aboutG3195 toG3195 drinkG4095?” They saidG3004 to Him, “We are ableG1410.” 23He saidG3004 to them, “8My cupG4221 you shall drinkG4095; but to sitG2523 at My rightG1188 and at My leftG2176 is not MineG1699 to giveG1325, 9but it is for those for whomG3739 it has been 10preparedG2090 by My FatherG3962.”
24And after hearingG191 this, the other tenG1176 disciples became indignantG23 with the twoG1417 brothersG80. 2511But JesusG2424 calledG4341 them to Himself and saidG3004, “You knowG3609 that the rulersG758 of the GentilesG1484 domineerG2634 overG2634 them, and 12those in highG3173 positionG3173 exerciseG2715 authorityG2715 overG2715 them. 26It 13is not thisG3779 wayG3779 amongG1722 you, 14but whoeverG3739G1437 wantsG2309 to becomeG1096 15prominentG3173 amongG1722 you shall be your servantG1249, 27and whoeverG3739G1437 desiresG2309 to be firstG4413 amongG1722 you shall be your slaveG1401; 28justG5618 as 16the SonG5207 of ManG444 17did not comeG2064 to be servedG1247, but to serveG1247, and to giveG1325 His 18lifeG5590 as a ransomG3083 for manyG4183.”
2919As they were leavingG1607 JerichoG2410, a largeG4183 crowdG3793 followedG190 Him.
