Contextual Overview

³² And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were amazed; and those that followed were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were to happen to him, ³³ [saying], Look, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: ³⁴ and they shall mock him, and shall spit on him, and shall scourge him, and shall kill him; and after three days he shall rise again. ³⁵ And there come near to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying to him, Teacher, we want that you should do for us whatever we shall ask of you. ³⁶ And he said to them, What do you want that I should do for you? ³⁷ And they said to him, Grant to us that we may sit, one on your right hand, and one on [your] left hand, in your glory. ³⁸ But Jesus said to them, You don't know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink? or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? ³⁹ And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, The cup that I drink you shall drink; and with the baptism that I am baptized with that you shall be baptized: ⁴⁰ but to sit at my right hand or at [my] left hand is not mine to give; but [it is for them] for whom it has been prepared. ⁴¹ And when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with indignation concerning James and John.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said unto them,.... And also to their mother, and to them by her, what

would ye that I should do for you? Christ insists upon their telling him the particular thing they wanted to have done for them, before he would give them any promise, though he knew very well what it was they were desirous of.

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 “person,” but they got their mother to make the request for them. Compare the notes at Matthew 20:20.
