New Living Translation

Mark 10:39-44 New Living Translation (NLT)

39. “Oh yes,” they replied, “we are able!”Then Jesus told them, “You will indeed drink from my bitter cup and be baptized with my baptism of suffering.

40. But I have no right to say who will sit on my right or my left. God has prepared those places for the ones he has chosen.”

41. When the ten other disciples heard what James and John had asked, they were indignant.

42. So Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them.

43. But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant,

44. and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else.
