Mark 10:32-45
They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was
walking ahead of them; they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. He
took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was to happen to him,
saying, ‘See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed
over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death;
then they will hand him over to the Gentiles; they will mock him, and spit upon
him, and flog him, and kill him; and after three days he will rise again.’
James and John, the
sons of Zebedee, came forward to him and said to him, ‘Teacher, we want you to
do for us whatever we ask of you.’ And he said to them, ‘What is it you want me
to do for you?’ And they said to him, ‘Grant us to sit, one at your right hand
and one at your left, in your glory.’ But Jesus said to them, ‘You do not know
what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized
with the baptism that I am baptized with?’ They replied, ‘We are able.’ Then
Jesus said to them, ‘The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism
with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at my right hand or
at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been
prepared.’
When the ten heard
this, they began to be angry with James and John. So Jesus called them and said
to them, ‘You know that among the Gentiles those whom they recognize as their
rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. But it is
not so among you; but whoever wishes to become great among you must be your
servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all. For the
Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom
for many.’
