Christian Standard Bible

Suffering and Service

²⁰ Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons approached him with her sons.^(A) She knelt down to ask him for something.^{(B) 21} “What do you want?” he asked her.

“Promise,”^[a] she said to him, “that these two sons of mine may sit, one on your right and the other on your left, in your kingdom.”^(C)

²² Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you’re asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?”^[b](D)

“We are able,” they said to him.
