Matthew 20:20-28 - A Request By The Mother Of James And John
20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedaeus came up to him with her sons, praying him for a favour. 21 He said to her, "What do you want?" She said, "Give orders that my two sons are to sit at your right hand and at your left in your Realm."
22 Jesus replied, "You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?" They said to him, "We can."
23 "You shall drink my cup," said Jesus, "but it is not for me to grant seats at my right hand and at my left; these belong to the men for whom they have been destined by my Father." 24 When the ten heard of this, they were angry at the two brothers, 25 but Jesus called them and said, "You know the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men overbear them: 26 not so with you. Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave; 28 just as the Son of man has not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
