Mark 10:35-41 ▼

35 James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, came up to Jesus, saying, |Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You.|

36 And He said to them, |What do you want Me to do for you?|

37 They said to Him, |Grant that we may sit, one on Your right and one on [Your] left, in Your glory.|

38 But Jesus said to them, |You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?|

39 They said to Him, |We are able.| And Jesus said to them, |The cup that I drink you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized.

40 |But to sit on My right or on [My] left, this is not Mine to give; but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.|

41 Hearing [this], the ten began to feel indignant with James and John.
