Mark 10: 32
- 45
|
| 32 |
And they were on the road, going up to
Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; and they were amazed, and those
who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them
what was to happen to him, |
| 33 |
saying, "Behold, we are going up to
Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and the
scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him to the Gentiles;
|
| 34 |
and they will mock him, and spit upon him,
and scourge him, and kill him; and after three days he will rise."
|
| 35 |
And James and John, the sons of Zeb'edee,
came forward to him, and said to him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us
whatever we ask of you." |
| 36 |
And he said to them, "What do you want me to
do for you?" |
| 37 |
And they said to him, "Grant us to sit, one
at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory." |
| 38 |
But Jesus said to them, "You do not know
what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be
baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?" |
| 39 |
And they said to him, "We are able." And
Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism
with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; |
| 40 |
but to sit at my right hand or at my left is
not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared."
|
| 41 |
And when the ten heard it, they began to be
indignant at James and John. |
| 42 |
And Jesus called them to him and said to
them, "You know that those who are supposed to rule over the Gentiles lord it
over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. |
| 43 |
But it shall not be so among you; but
whoever would be great among you must be your servant, |
| 44 |
and whoever would be first among you must be
slave of all. |
| 45 |
For the Son of man also came not to be
served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." |
