MATTHEW 20:17-2817 Now as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside and said to them, 18\u201cWe are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death 19and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!\u201d20 Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him. 21 \u201cWhat is it you want?\u201d he asked. She said, \u201cGrant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.\u201d 22\u201cYou don't know what you are asking,\u201d Jesus said to them. "Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?\u201d \u201cWe can,\u201d they answered. 23Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.\u201d 24 When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. 25Jesus called them together and said, \u201cYou know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27and whoever wants to be first must be your slave\u2014 28just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.\u201d
