And Ya'akov and Yochanan, the banim of Zavdai, approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying to him, Rebbe, we wish that whatever bakosha we may ask you, you may do for us. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, What do you wish me to do for you? And they said to him, Grant to us that one may sit limin (at the right hand) of you and one lismol (at the left hand) in your kavod. But he said to them, You do not have daas of what you ask. Are you able to drink the kos which I drink or to undergo my mikveh? And they said to him, We are able. And he said to them, The kos which I drink you shall drink; and you shall have the mikveh in which I am submerged. But to sit limin or lismol of me is not mine to grant, but for the ones for whom it has been prepared. And hearing this, the Asarah (Ten) became indignant with Ya'akov and Yochanan. And having summoned them, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, You have daas that among the Goyim those whom they recognize as their moshlim (rulers) domineer them and their Gedolim exercise authority over them. However, it is not so among you. He who wishes to become gadol among you must be your mesharet. And whoever wishes to be first among you must be eved of all. For even the Bar Enosh did not come to be served but to serve and to give his NEFESH as a kofer (ransom, pedut) LARABBIM (for many, for the Geulah [Redemption] of many).
