Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him.

Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.

And He said to her, "What do you desire?" She said to Him, "Say that in Your kingdom these two sons of mine shall sit, one at Your right, and one at Your left."

And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.

But Jesus replied, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to Him, "We are able."

But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.

He said to them, "My cup you shall drink; but to sit at My right and at My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father."

And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

And after hearing this, the other ten disciples became indignant with the two brothers.

And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.

But Jesus called them to Himself and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles domineer over them, and those in high position exercise authority over them.

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

"It is not this way among you, but whoever wants to become prominent among you shall be your servant,

But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

and whoever desires to be first among you shall be your slave;

And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many."

Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
