29. Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, all those who have left houses, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children, or farms for me and for the Good News
30. will get more than they left. Here in this world they will have a hundred times more homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields. And with those things, they will also suffer for their belief. But in this age they will have life forever.
31. Many who are first now will be last in the future. And many who are last now will be first in the future.”
32. As Jesus and the people with him were on the road to Jerusalem, he was leading the way. His followers were amazed, but others in the crowd who followed were afraid. Again Jesus took the twelve apostles aside and began to tell them what was about to happen in Jerusalem.
33. He said, “Look, we are going to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be turned over to the leading priests and the teachers of the law. They will say that he must die, and they will turn him over to the non-Jewish people,
34. who will laugh at him and spit on him. They will beat him with whips and crucify him. But on the third day, he will rise to life again.”
35. Then James and John, sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, we want to ask you to do something for us.”
36. Jesus asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”
37. They answered, “Let one of us sit at your right side and one of us sit at your left side in your glory in your kingdom.”
