Context of Matthew 20:18

16So the last will be first, and the first last.” 17As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve aside privately and said to them on the way, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the experts in the law. They will condemn him to death, 19and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged severely and crucified. Yet on the third day, he will be raised.” 20Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, and kneeling down she asked him for a favor.
