Mark 10:35-45

James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to see him. “Teacher,” they said, “We want you to do for us whatever we ask you.” “So what do you want me to do for you?” Jesus replied. “When you're victorious and sit on your throne, make sure we sit beside you, one on the right, the other on the left,” they told him. “You don't know what you're asking,” replied Jesus. “Can you drink the cup I drink? Can you be baptized with the baptism of pain I will suffer?” “Yes, we can,” they replied. “You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized with the same baptism as me,” Jesus told them. “But it's not for me to grant who should sit on my right or on my left. These places are reserved for those for whom they have been prepared.” When the other ten disciples heard about this, they started getting upset with James and John. Jesus called the disciples together and told them, “You realize that those who claim to rule over nations oppress their people. The rulers act like tyrants. But for you it's not like this. Anyone of you who wants to be a ruler must be your servant, and anyone who wants to be first among you must be the slave of all of you. For even the Son of man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
