A Mother's Request
20 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and desiring some thing of him.
21 Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: Say that these my two sons may sit, one at thy right hand, & one at thy left hand in thy Kingdom.
22 And JESUS answering, said: You know not what you desire. Can you drink of the cup that I shall drink of? They say to him: We can.
23 He saith to them: My cup indeed you shall drink of: but to sit at my right hand and left, is not mine to give to you: but to whom it is prepared of my Father.
24 And the ten hearing it, were displeased at the two brethren.
25 And JESUS calleth them unto him, and said: You know that the princes of the Gentiles overrule them: and they that are the greater, exercise power against them.
26 It shall not be so among you, but whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minister:
27 And he that will be first among you, shall be your servant.
