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."

39. "We can," they answered. Jesus said to them, "You will drink the cup I drink. And you will go through the baptism I go through.
