The Request of James and John

20

Then came to him the mother of Zebedeus children with her sonnes, worshipping him, and desiring a certaine thing of him.

21

And he said vnto her, What wouldest thou? She said to him, Graunt that these my two sonnes may sit, the one at thy right hand, and the other at thy left hand in thy kingdome.

22

And Iesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye aske. Are ye able to drinke of the cup that I shall drinke of, and to be baptized with the baptisme that I shalbe baptized with? They said to him, We are able.

23

And he said vnto them, Ye shall drinke in deede of my cup, and shall be baptized with the baptisme, that I am baptized with, but to sit at my right hande, and at my left hand, is not mine to giue: but it shalbe giuen to them for whome it is prepared of my Father.

24

And when the other ten heard this, they disdained at the two brethren.

25

Therefore Iesus called them vnto him, and saide, We knowe that the lordes of the Gentiles haue domination ouer them, and they that are great, exercise authoritie ouer them.

26

But it shall not be so among you: but whosoeuer will be great among you, let him be your seruant.

27

And whosoeuer will be chiefe among you, let him be your seruant.

28

Euen as the Sonne of man came not to be serued, but to serue, and to giue his life for the ransome of many.
