b'In this episode, we respond to an anonymous question from Tumblr asking for a queer-friendly Bible version that they can read. This person has felt rejected by faith for a long time now and would like to kick-start their start-over journey with a new Bible. Tune in to hear what we suggest.\\nWe then queered the text from Mark where John and James asked Jesus, \\u201cTeacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask.\\u201d Then they asked to be seated in the best seats beside Jesus in heaven. We share why we think Jesus\\u2019 death should be seen as a demand from God to liberate people. Fr. Shay also shares why he loves this text, so make sure you listen to this week\\u2019s episode.\\nKey Takeaways:\\n\\nFr.

Can you drink the cup I drink or receive the baptism I receive?\\u201d\\n\\u201cWe can,\\u201d they answered.\\nJesus said, \\u201cYou will drink the cup I drink and receive the baptism I receive, but to sit at my right or left hand isn\\u2019t mine to give. It belongs to those for whom it has been prepared.\\u201d\\nNow when the other ten disciples heard about this, they became angry with James and John. Jesus called them over and said, \\u201cYou know that the ones who are considered the rulers by the Gentiles show off their authority over them and their high-ranking officials order them around. But that\\u2019s not the way it will be with you. Whoever wants to be great among you will be your servant. Whoever wants to be first among you will be the slave of all, for the Human One didn\\u2019t come to be served but rather to serve and to give his life to liberate many people.\\u201d\\xa0\\n\\n \\nPhoto by Ehimetalor Akhere Unuabona\\nThe post Movement Is Messy – Mark 10:35-45 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
