26. They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, “Then who can be saved?”
27. Jesus looked at them and said, “For human beings it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God.”
28. Peter began to say to him, “We have given up everything and followed you.”
29. Jesus said, “Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the gospel
30. who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come.
31. But many that are first will be last, and [the] last will be first.”

35. Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.”
36. He replied, “What do you wish [me] to do for you?”
37. They answered him, “Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left.”
38. Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I drink or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”
