New TestamentMarkThe Request of James and John · 10:35–4510:35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.10:36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?10:37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.10:38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?10:39 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:10:40 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.10:41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.10:42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.10:43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:10:44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.10:45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
