Matthew 20:22-28 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

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.”

23. And He said to them, “You shall indeed drink My cup, and you shall be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with. But to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.”

24. And when the ten heard it, they were displeased at the two brothers.

25. But יהושע called them near and said, “You know that the rulers of the gentiles are masters over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them.

26. “But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you, let him be your servant.

27. “And whoever wishes to be first among you, let him be your servant,

28. even as the Son of Aḏam did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
