Matthew 20:17-24 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

17. As Yeshua was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,

18. “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

19. and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”

20. Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.

21. He said to her, “What do you want?”She said to him, “Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom.”

22. But Yeshua answered, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with?”They said to him, “We are able.”

23. He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with, but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”

24. When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.
