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 you.”

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

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

38. But 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 that I am baptized with?”

39. And they said to him, “We are able.” So Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup that I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with,

40. but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
