Context of Mark 10:42

40But I have no right to say who will sit on my right or my left. God has prepared those places for the ones he has chosen.” 41When the ten other disciples heard what James and John had asked, they were indignant. So Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. 43But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, 44and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else.
