New Testament

Mark 10:30-42 Modern English Version (MEV)

30. who shall not receive a hundred times as much now in this age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, with persecution, and in the age to come, eternal life.

31. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

32. They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went ahead of them. And they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. Again, He took the twelve aside and began to tell them what would happen to Him,

33. saying, “Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death and hand Him over to the Gentiles.

34. They will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. Then after three days He will rise.”

35. Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, “Teacher, we want that whatever we may ask, You would do for us.”

36. He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

37. They said to Him, “Grant us to sit, one at Your right hand and the other at Your left hand, in Your glory.”

38. But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I drink and be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”

39. They said to Him, “We can.”Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink the cup that I drink and be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized.

40. But to sit at My right hand or at My left hand is not Mine to grant. It is for those for whom it has been prepared.”

41. When the ten heard it, they began to be very displeased with James and John.

42. But Jesus called them together, and said, “You know that those who are appointed to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
