that are first shall be last; and the last first.
Jesus led them to Jerusalem and, along the way, began to tell them the
things that would happen to Him. He said, In Jerusalem the Son of man
shall be delivered to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn
Him to death, and shall deliver Him to the Gentiles. They will mock Him
and scourge Him. They will spit on Him. And they will kill him. On the
third day He shall rise again.
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him and said, Master, we
have a desire to tell you about. Jesus said to them, What should I do
for you? They said, Grant that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and
the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. Jesus answered, Ye know not
what ye ask. Can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? Can ye be
baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They said to Him, We
can.
Jesus said, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of. Ye shall
be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized. But to sit on my
right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give. It shall be given
to them for whom it is prepared.
When the other ten disciples heard this, they became greatly displeased
with James and John. Jesus called them and said, Ye know that those who
are appointed to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them and
their great ones heavily influence them.
