20 (A)Then the mother of (B)the sons of Zebedee came to [a]Jesus with her sons, (C)bowing down and making a request of Him. 21 And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She *said to Him, “Command that in Your kingdom these two sons of mine (D)may sit one on Your right and one on Your left.” 22 But Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able (E)to drink the cup that I am about to drink?” They *said to Him, “We are able.” 23 He *said to them, “(F)My cup you shall drink; but to sit on My right and on My left, this is not Mine to give, (G)but it is for those for whom it has been (H)prepared by My Father.”

Jesus Asserts His Deity
22 At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem; 23 it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of (A)Solomon. 24 (B)The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, “How long [a]will You keep us in suspense? If You are [b]the Christ, tell us (C)plainly.” 25 Jesus answered them, “(D)I told you, and you do not believe; (E)the works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify of Me. 26 But you do not believe because (F)you are not of My sheep. 27 My sheep (G)hear My voice, and (H)I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give (I)eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and (J)no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 [c]My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 (K)I and the Father are [d]one.”
