Whiston(i)
20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children, with her sons worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Give order that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left in th kingdom.
22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of? They say, We are able.
23 Jesus saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup: but to sit on my right hand, and my left, is not mine to give, but to those for whom it is prepared of my Father.
24 And when the ten heard [it], they had indignation against the two brethren.
25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said unto them, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
26 It is not so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister.
27 And whosoever will be chief among you, shall be your servant.
28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministred unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. But do you seek to increase from a little, and to be diminished from what is greater. However, when you are come and are desired to sup, do not you sit in the most eminent places, lest more honourable than thou come, and he that invited thee to supper come upon thee and say to thee, Go down still lower; and thou be put to confusion. But if thou sittest in a lower place, and one inferior to thee comes, he that invited thee will say to thee, Go and sit higher. For this will be to thy advantage.
