Titus 1:7-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 For a bishop,[a] as God’s steward, must be blameless; he must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or addicted to wine or violent or greedy for gain,(A) 8 but he must be hospitable,[b] a lover of goodness, self-controlled, upright, devout, and restrained, 9 holding tightly to the trustworthy word of the teaching, so that he may be able both to exhort with sound instruction and to refute those who contradict it.
10 There are also many rebellious people, idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision;(B) 11 they must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for sordid gain what it is not right to teach.(C) 12 It was one of them, their very own prophet, who said,
“Cretans are always liars, vicious brutes, lazy gluttons.”
13 That testimony is true. For this reason rebuke them sharply, so that they may become sound in the faith,(D) 14 not paying attention to Jewish myths or to commandments of those who reject the truth.(E) 15 To the pure all things are pure, but to the corrupt and unbelieving nothing is pure; their very minds and consciences are corrupted.(F) 16 They profess to know God, but they deny him by their actions; they are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work.(G)

Titus 1:7-16
New International Version
7 Since an overseer(A) manages God’s household,(B) he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.(C) 8 Rather, he must be hospitable,(D) one who loves what is good,(E) who is self-controlled,(F) upright, holy and disciplined. 9 He must hold firmly(G) to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine(H) and refute those who oppose it.
Rebuking Those Who Fail to Do Good
10 For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk(I) and deception, especially those of the circumcision group.(J) 11 They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households(K) by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 One of Crete’s own prophets(L) has said it: “Cretans(M) are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”[a] 13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke(N) them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith(O) 14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths(P) or to the merely human commands(Q) of those who reject the truth.(R) 15 To the pure, all things are pure,(S) but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure.(T) In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.(U) 16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him.(V) They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.(W)

The Dispute about Greatness
24 A dispute also arose among them as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest.(A) 25 But he said to them, “The kings of the gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors.(B) 26 But not so with you; rather, the greatest among you must become like the youngest and the leader like one who serves.(C) 27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.(D)

The Request of James and John
35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” 36 And he said to them, “What is it you want me to do for you?” 37 And they said to him, “Appoint us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.”(A) 38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”(B) 39 They replied, “We are able.” Then Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized you will be baptized,(C) 40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to appoint, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
41 When the ten heard this, they began to be angry with James and John. 42 So Jesus called them and said to them, “You know that among the gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. 43 But it is not so among you; instead, whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant,(D) 44 and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all. 45 For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and to give his life a ransom for many.”(E)

38 “You don’t know what you are asking,”(C) Jesus said. “Can you drink the cup(D) I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?”(E)
39 “We can,” they answered.
Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with,(F) 40 but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared.”
41 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. 42 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43 Not so with you.

20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, and kneeling before him, she asked a favor of him.(A) 21 And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Declare that these two sons of mine will sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.”(B) 22 But Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?”[a] They said to him, “We are able.”(C) 23 He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left, this is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”(D)
24 When the ten heard it, they were angry with the two brothers.(E) 25 But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them.(F) 26 It will not be so among you, but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant,(G) 27 and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave, 28 just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and to give his life a ransom for many.”(H)

20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons(B) came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down,(C) asked a favor of him.
21 “What is it you want?” he asked.
She said, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.”(D)
22 “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said to them. “Can you drink the cup(E) I am going to drink?”
“We can,” they answered.
23 Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup,(F) but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.”
24 When the ten heard about this, they were indignant(G) with the two brothers. 25 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26 Not so with you.
