Matthew 20:20-28

Thomson(i) 20 Then the mother of Zebedee's children came to him with her sons, and, prostrating herself, asked a favour of him. 21 Whereupon he said to her, What is thy desire? She said to him, Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on thy right hand and the other on thy left in thy kingdom. 22 In reply to which Jesus said, You do not know what you ask. Can you drink the cup which I shall soon drink and be baptized with the baptism, with which I am baptized? They say to him, We can. 23 Then Jesus saith to them, You will indeed drink my cup and be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, unless to them for whom it is prepared by my father. 24 When the ten heard, they were moved with indignation against the two brothers. 25 Whereupon Jesus having called them to him, said, You know that the chiefs of the nations exercise dominion over them; and they who are grandees exercise authority over them: 26 but it shall not be so among you. But whoever among you would wish to be great, let him be your attendant. 27 And whoever among you would wish to be first, let him be your servant; 28 even as the son of man came not to be waited on, but to wait, and to give his life a ransom for many.
