Matthew 20:13-22 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

13. “But he answering, said to one of them, ‘Friend, I do you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a silver piece?

14. ‘Take yours and go. But I wish to give to this last man as also to you.

15. ‘Is it not right for me to do what I wish with my own? Or is your eye evil because I am good?’

16. “Thus the last shall be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.”

17. And יהושע, going up to Yerushalayim, took the twelve taught ones aside on the way and said to them,

18. “See, we are going up to Yerushalayim, and the Son of Aḏam shall be delivered up to the chief priests and to the scribes. And they shall condemn Him to death,

19. and deliver Him to the gentiles to mock and to flog and to impale. And the third day He shall be raised.”

20. Then the mother of the sons of Zaḇdai came to Him with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him.

21. And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to Him, “Command that these two sons of mine might sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your reign.”

22. But יהושע answering, said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and to be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with?” They said to Him, “We are able.”
