Mark 10:27-38 English Standard Version (ESV)

27. Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”

28. Peter began to say to him, “See, we have left everything and followed you.”

29. Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel,

30. who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life.

31. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

32. And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. And they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him,

33. saying, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and deliver him over to the Gentiles.

34. And they will mock him and spit on him, and flog him and kill him. And after three days he will rise.”

35. And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.”

36. And he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”

37. And they said to him, “Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.”

38. Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”
