Mark 10:38-40

Easy-to-Read Version

³⁸ Jesus said, “You don’t understand what you are asking. Can you drink from the cup^[a] that I must drink from? Can you be baptized with the same baptism^[b] that I must go through?”

³⁹ The sons answered, “Yes, we can!”

Jesus said to the sons, “It is true that you will drink from the cup that I drink from. And you will be baptized with the same baptism that I must go through. ⁴⁰ But it is not for me to say who will sit at my right or my left. God has prepared those places for the ones he chooses.”
