^{35 Ref} And there come near to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, `Teacher, we wish that whatever we may ask for ourselves, thou mayest do for us;'

^{36 Ref} and he said to them, `What do ye wish me to do for you?'

^{37 Ref} and they said to him, `Grant to us that, one on thy right hand and one on thy left, we may sit in thy glory;'

^{38 Ref} and Jesus said to them, `Ye have not known what ye ask; are ye able to drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the baptism that I am baptized with -- to be baptized?'

^{39 Ref} And they said to him, `We are able;' and Jesus said to them, `Of the cup indeed that I drink of, ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with, ye shall be baptized;

^{40 Ref} but to sit on my right and on my left, is not mine to give, but -- to those for whom it hath been prepared.'

^{41 Ref} And the ten having heard, began to be much displeased at James and John,

^{42 Ref} but Jesus having called them near, saith to them, `Ye have known that they who are considered to rule the nations do exercise lordship over them, and their great ones do exercise authority upon them;

^{43 Ref} but not so shall it be among you; but whoever may will to become great among you, he shall be your minister,

⁴⁴ and whoever of you may will to become first, he shall be servant of all;

^{45 Ref} for even the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'
