<p id=”p41010035.07-1″><span class=”verse-num” id=”v41010035-1″>35 </span>And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” <span class=”verse-num” id=”v41010036-1″>36 </span>And he said to them, <span class=”woc”>“What do you want me to do for you?”</span> <span class=”verse-num” id=”v41010037-1″>37 </span>And they said to him, “Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.” <span class=”verse-num” id=”v41010038-1″>38 </span>Jesus said to them, <span class=”woc”>“You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”</span> <span class=”verse-num” id=”v41010039-1″>39 </span>And they said to him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, <span class=”woc”>“The cup that I drink you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized,</span> <span class=”verse-num woc” id=”v41010040-1″>40 </span><span class=”woc”>but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”</span> <span class=”verse-num” id=”v41010041-1″>41 </span>And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. <span class=”verse-num” id=”v41010042-1″>42 </span>And Jesus called them to him and said to them, <span class=”woc”>“You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.</span> <span class=”verse-num woc” id=”v41010043-1″>43 </span><span class=”woc”>But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,</span> <span class=”verse-num woc” id=”v41010044-1″>44 </span><span class=”woc”>and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all.</span> <span class=”verse-num woc” id=”v41010045-1″>45 </span><span class=”woc”>For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”</span> (<a href=”http://www.esv.org” class=”copyright”>ESV</a>)</p>
