Mark 10:35-45
New American Standard Bible
35 [a](A)James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, *came up to [b]Jesus, saying to Him, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You.” 36 And He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?” 37 They said to Him, “[c]Grant that we (B)may sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory.” 38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able (C)to drink the cup that I drink, or (D)to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” 39 They said to Him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink (E)you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized. 40 But to sit on My right or on My left is not Mine to give; (F)but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
41 (G)Hearing this, the other ten began to feel indignant with [d]James and John. 42 Calling them to Himself, Jesus *said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles domineer over them; and their [e]people in high position exercise authority over them. 43 But it is not this way among you; (H)rather, whoever wants to become [f]prominent among you shall be your servant; 44 and whoever wants to be first among you shall be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man (I)did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His [g]life as a ransom for many.”

Suffering and Service
35 James(A) and John,(B) the sons of Zebedee,(C) approached him and said, “Teacher,(D) we want you to do whatever we ask you.”
36 “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked them.
37 They answered him, “Allow us to sit at your right and at your left in your glory.”(E)
38 Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you’re asking.(F) Are you able to drink the cup(G) I drink or to be baptized with the baptism(H) I am baptized with?”(I)
39 “We are able,” they told him.
Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with.(J) 40 But to sit at my right or left is not mine to give; instead, it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
41 When the ten disciples heard this, they began to be indignant with James and John.(K) 42 Jesus called them over and said to them, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over(L) them, and those in high positions act as tyrants over them. 43 But it is not so among you.(M) On the contrary, whoever wants to become great among you will be your servant,(N) 44 and whoever wants to be first among you will be a slave to all.(O) 45 For even the Son of Man(P) did not come to be served, but to serve,(Q) and to give his life(R) as a ransom(S) for many.”[a](T)
