Mark 10:35-41 ▼

35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him and said, |Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask.|

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

37 They said to him, |Permit one of us to sit at your right hand and the other at your left in your glory.|

38 But Jesus said to them, |You don't know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I experience?|

39 They said to him, |We are able.| Then Jesus said to them, |You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism I experience,

40 but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to give. It is for those for whom it has been prepared.|

41 Now when the other ten heard this, they became angry with James and John.
