And Jacob* and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him saying ‘Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask you.’

He said to them ‘What do you want me to do for you?’

And they said to him: ‘Grant to us that one of us will sit at your right and one at your left in your glory. ‘

But Jesus said to them: ‘ You do not understand what you are asking for.
Can you drink the cup which I drink
or be baptised with the baptism with the baptism I will be baptised with? ‘

But they said to him ‘We can.’

But Jesus said to them:
‘The cup which I drink, you will drink,
and you will be baptised with the baptism with which I will be baptised,

but to sit at my right or left is not mine to give.
But it will be given to those for whom it is prepared.’

But the ten hearing this, began to be angry about Jacob and John. 

And when Jesus had called them together, he said :
You understand that those who are seen to be rulers of the pagans lord it over them
and their great ones tyrannise them.
It is not so among you,
but whoever wishes to be great,
let them be among you as your servant,
and whoever wishes among you to be first will be a slave of everyone. 

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve,
and give his life a ransom for many. ‘

God be in head and in my understanding;
God be in my eyes and in my looking;
God be in my mouth and in my speaking;
God be in my heart and in my thinking;
God be at my end and at my departing.
