20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons and knelt down to make a request of Him. 21 “What do you want? He inquired. She answered, “Declare that in Your kingdom one of these two sons of mine may sit at Your right hand, and the other at Your left. 22 “You⁺ do not know what you⁺ are asking, Jesus (YHWH saves) replied. “Can you⁺ drink the cup I am going to drink [or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized]?” “We can, the brothers answered. 23 “You⁺ will indeed drink My cup [and be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized],” Jesus said. “But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to grant. These seats belong to those for whom My Father has prepared them. 24 When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. 25 But Jesus (YHWH saves) called them aside and said, “You⁺ know that the rulers of the Gentiles {ethnōn} lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them. 26 It shall not be this way among you⁺. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you⁺ must be your⁺ servant {diakonos}, 27 and whoever wants to be first among you⁺ must be your⁺ slave {doulos}— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life {psychēn} as a ransom for many.
