they replied, when you are in your glory, grant that we may sit, the one on your right hand, and the other on your left.

But Jesus said to them, You have no knowledge of what you are saying. Are you able to take of my cup? or to undergo the baptism which I am to undergo?

And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, You will take of the cup from which I take; and the baptism which I am about to undergo you will undergo:

but seats at my right and at my left are not mine to give, but they will be given to those for whom they have been prepared."

And if anyone says to you, Why are you doing this? say, The Lord has need of him and will send him back straight away.

And some of those who were there said to them, What are you doing, taking the ass?

So, they brought it to Him and He said to them, "Whose image and inscription [are on this coin]?" And they answered Him, "Caesar's."

And Jesus said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's. And they were full of wonder at him.
