Mark 10:35-45

Revised Geneva Translation

³⁵ Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, “Master, we ask that You would do for us that which we desire.”

³⁶ And He said to them, “What would that be?”

³⁷ And they said to Him, “Grant to us that we may sit - one at Your right hand, and the other at Your left hand - in Your glory.

³⁸ But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you ask. Can you drink of the same cup as Me, and be baptized with the same baptism?”

³⁹ And they said to Him, “We can.” But Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink of the same cup, and be baptized with the same baptism.

⁴⁰ “But to sit at My right hand and at My left is not Mine to give. But rather, it shall be given to those for whom it is prepared.”

⁴¹ And when the other ten heard that, they began to be angry about James and John.

⁴² But Jesus called them to Him, and said to them, “You know that those who are princes among the Gentiles, have dominion over them. And those who are great among them exercise authority over them.

⁴³ “But it shall not be so among you. For whoever desires to be great among you shall be your servant.

⁴⁴ “And whoever desires to be your leader shall be the servant of all.

⁴⁵ “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve; and to give His life for the ransom of many.”
