Contextual Overview
32Now they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking on ahead of them; and they were perplexed [at what Jesus had said], and those who were following were alarmed and afraid. And again He took the twelve [disciples] aside and began telling them what was going to happen to Him, 33saying, "Listen very carefully: we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed and handed over to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and hand Him over to the Gentiles (Romans). 34"They will mock and ridicule Him and spit on Him, and whip (scourge) Him and kill Him, and three days later He will rise [from the dead]." 35James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, "Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You." 36And He replied to them, "What do you want Me to do for you?" 37They said to Him, "Grant that we may sit [with You], one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory [Your majesty and splendor in Your kingdom]." 38But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism [of suffering and death] with which I am baptized?" 39And they replied to Him, "We are able." Jesus told them, "The cup that I drink you will drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized. 40"But to sit on My right or left, this is not Mine to give; but it is for those for whom it has been prepared [by My Father]." 41Hearing this, the [other] ten became indignant with James and John.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
James: Matthew says that this request was made by Salome their mother; but though she made the request as from herself, yet it is evident that they had set her upon the business; and therefore Jesus, knowing whence it came, immediately addressed the sons. Mark 1:19, Mark 1:20, Mark 5:37, Mark 9:2, Mark 14:33
come: Matthew 20:20-28
we would: 2 Samuel 14:4-11, 1 Kings 2:16, 1 Kings 2:20
Reciprocal: Matthew 18:1 - Who Mark 3:17 - James Mark 13:3 - Peter Acts 12:2 - James 3 John 1:9 - who loveth
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, came unto him,.... Along with their mother, who was their mouth, and spoke for them, and they by her:
saying, master, we would that thou shouldst do for us whatsoever we shall desire: that is, we earnestly desire, that whereas we have a favour to ask of thee, that thou wouldst not deny us it, be it what it will; :-.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the notes at Matthew 20:20-28.
Mark 10:35
And James and John ...came unto him - They did this through the instrumentality of their mother. They did not come in âperson,â but they got their mother to make the request for them. Compare the notes at Matthew 20:20.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 35. And James and John - come unto him — The request here mentioned, Matthew says, Matthew 20:20, was made by Salome their mother; the two places may be easily reconciled thus: - The mother introduced them, and made the request as if from herself; Jesus knowing whence it had come, immediately addressed himself to James and John, who were standing by; and the mother is no farther concerned in the business. Matthew 20:20.
