True Greatness: Servant Leadership

35

And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying: Master, we desire that whatsoever we shall ask, thou wouldst do it for us.

36

But he said to them: What would you that I should do for you?

37

And they said: Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.

38

And Jesus said to them: You know not what you ask. Can you drink of the chalice that I drink of or be baptized with the baptism wherewith I am baptized?

39

But they said to him: We can. And Jesus saith to them: You shall indeed drink of the chalice that I drink of; and with the baptism wherewith I am baptized you shall be baptized.

40

But to sit on my right hand or on my left is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared.

41

And the ten, hearing it, began to be much displeased at James and John.

42

But Jesus calling them, saith to them: You know that they who seem to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them: and their princes have power over them.

43

But it is not so among you: but whosoever will be greater shall be your minister.

44

And whosoever will be first among you shall be the servant of all.

45

For the Son of man also is not come to be ministered unto: but to minister and to give his life a redemption for many.
