Matthew 20:20-28

Living_Oracles(i) 20 Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to him with her sons, and, prostrating herself, entreated he would grant the request she had to make. 21 He said to her, What do you wish? She answered, That, in your Reign, one of these my two sons may sit at your right hand, the other at your left. 22 Jesus replying, said, You know not what you ask. Can you drink such a cup as I must drink? They said to him, We can. 23 He answered, You shall indeed drink such a cup. But to sit on my right hand, and at my left, I can not give, unless to those for whom it is prepared by my Father. 24 The then, hearing this, were full of indignation against the two brothers; 25 but Jesus, calling them to him, said, You know that the Princes of the nations domineer over them, and the great exercise their authority upon them. 26 It must not be so amongst you: on the contrary, whosoever would become great amongst you, let him be your servant; 27 and whosoever would be chief amongst you, let him be your slave: 28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
