Or are you envious because I am generous?'
020:016 "So the last shall be first, and the first last."
020:017 Jesus was now going up to Jerusalem, and He took the twelve
disciples aside by themselves, and on the way He said to them,
020:018 "We are going up to Jerusalem, and there the Son of Man
will be betrayed to the High Priests and Scribes.
They will condemn Him to death,
020:019 and hand Him over to the Gentiles to be made sport of and scourged
and crucified; and on the third day He will be raised to life."
020:020 Then the mother of the sons of Zabdi came to Him with her sons,
and knelt before Him to make a request of Him.
020:021 "What is it you desire?" He asked. "Command," she replied,
"that these my two sons may sit one at your right hand and one
at your left in your Kingdom."
020:022 "None of you know what you are asking for," said Jesus;
"can you drink out of the cup from which I am about to drink?"
"We can," they replied.
020:023 "You shall drink out of my cup," He said, "but a seat at my
right hand or at my left it is not for me to allot, but it
belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."
020:024 The other ten heard of this, and their indignation was aroused
against the two brothers.
020:025 But Jesus called them to Him, and said, "You know that the rulers
of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise
authority over them.
020:026 Not so shall it be among you; but whoever desires to be great
among you shall be your servant,
020:027 and whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant;
020:028 just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve,
and to give His life as the redemption-price for many."
