Mark 10:32-37 (NIV)
They were on their way up to Jerusalem,
with Jesus leading the way,
and the disciples were astonished,
while those who followed were afraid.
Again he took the Twelve aside and told them
what was going to happen to him.
“We are going up to Jerusalem,” he said,
“and the Son of Man
will be delivered over to the chief priests
and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him
to death and will hand him over
to the Gentiles, who will mock him and spit on him,
flog him and kill him. Three days later, he will rise.”
Then James and John,
the sons of Zebedee, came to him.
“Teacher,” they said,
“we want you to do for us whatever we ask.”
“What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.
They replied, “Let one of us sit at your right
and the other at your left in your glory.”
Mark 10:41-45 (NIV)
When the ten heard about this [their request],
they became indignant with James and John.
Jesus called them together and said,
“You know that those who are regarded
as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them,
and their high officials exercise authority over them.
Not so with you.
Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served,
but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
