Mark 10:35-45
World English Bible
35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask.”
36 He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
37 They said to him, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand, and one at your left hand, in your glory.”
38 But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
39 They said to him, “We are able.”
Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; 40 but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared.”
41 When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant toward James and John.
42 Jesus summoned them, and said to them, “You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43 But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant. 44 Whoever of you wants to become first among you, shall be bondservant of all. 45 For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Christian Standard Bible
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)
