And they were in [on] the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before [in front of] them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should [were going to] happen unto him, MK 10:32 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes [experts in the law WU]; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: MK 10:33 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge [flog WU] him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again. MK 10:34

And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master [Teacher], we would [want] that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire. MK 10:35 And he said unto them, What would ye [do you want] that I should do for you? MK 10:36 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on [at] thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. MK 10:37 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? MK 10:38 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal [with] shall ye be baptized: MK 10:39 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared. MK 10:40

And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John. MK 10:41 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule [recognized as rulers WU] over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. MK 10:42 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will [wants to] be great among you, shall [must] be your minister [servant]: MK 10:43 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest [first], shall be servant [slave] of all. MK 10:44 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto [served], but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. MK 10:45 SERVING
