Matthew 20:21-28

MNT(i) 21 "What is it you wish?" he said. She answered, "Command that these my two sons may sit upon your right hand and your left in your kingdom." 22 "None of you know what you are asking," said Jesus. "Can you drink the cup which I am about to drink?" "We can," they replied. 23 My cup you indeed shall drink," he answered, "but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father." 24 When the ten heard of this, they were indignant at the two brothers; 25 but Jesus called them to him and said: "You know how the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. 26 "Not so shall it be among you. But whoever among you wishes to become great, shall be your minister, 27 "and whoever wishes to be first among you, shall be your slave; 28 "just as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
