New Testament

Mark 10:33-38 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

33. "We are going up to Jerusalem," he said. "The Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will sentence him to death. Then they will hand him over to people who are not Jews.

34. The people will make fun of him and spit on him. They will whip him and kill him. Three days later he will rise from the dead!"

35. James and John came to Jesus. They were the sons of Zebedee. "Teacher," they said, "we would like to ask a favor of you."

36. "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.

37. They replied, "Let one of us sit at your right hand in your glorious kingdom. Let the other one sit at your left hand."

38. "You don't know what you're asking for," Jesus said. "Can you drink the cup of suffering I drink? Or can you go through the baptism of suffering I must go through?"
