Greatness Is Serving
35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee,
came to Him, saying, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask.”
36 And He said to them, “What do you want Me to
do for you?” 37 They said to Him, “Grant us that
we may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on Your left, in Your
glory.” 38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know
what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized
with the baptism that I am baptized with?” 39 They
said to Him, “We are able.” So Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink
the cup that I drink, and with the baptism I am baptized with you will
be baptized; 40 but to sit on My right hand and
on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared.”
41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly
displeased with James and John. 42 But Jesus called
them to Himself and said to them, “You know that those who are considered
rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise
authority over them. 43 Yet it shall not be so among
you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.
44 And whoever of you desires to be first shall
be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did
not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for
many.”
