35. And Yaakov and Yochanan, the banim of Zavdai, approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying to him, Rebbe, we wish that whatever bakosha we may ask you, you may do for us.
36. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, What do you wish me to do for you?
37. And they said to him, Grant to us that one may sit limin (at the right hand) of you and one lismol (at the left hand) in your kavod.
38. But he said to them, You do not have daas of what you ask. Are you able to drink the kos which I drink or to undergo my tevilah? [IYOV 38:2]
39. And they said to him, We are able. And he said to them, The kos which I drink you shall drink; and you shall have the tevilah in which I am submerged.
40. But to sit limin or lismol of me is not mine to grant, but for the ones for whom it has been prepared.
41. And hearing this, the Asarah (Ten) became indignant with Yaakov and Yochanan.
42. And having summoned them, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, You have daas that among the Goyim those whom they recognize as their moshlim (rulers) domineer them and their Gedolim exercise authority over them.
43. However, it is not so among you. He who wishes to become gadol among you must be your mesharet.
44. And whoever wishes to be first among you must be eved of all.
45. For even the Ben HaAdam (Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13-14) did not come to be served but to serve and to give his NEFESH as a kofer (ransom, pedut) LARABBIM (for many, for the Geulah Redemption of many). [YESHAYAH 53:10-11]
46. And they come to Yericho. And as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was going forth from Yericho with his talmidim and a great multitude, Bar-Timai [son of Timai], an ivver, a poor betler (beggar), was sitting beside the road.
47. And when he heard that it was Yehoshua from Natzeret coming, he began to cry out and to shout, Ben Dovid Yehoshua, chaneini!
48. And many were rebuking him that he should shekit, but he kept crying out all the more, Ben Dovid, chaneini!
49. Having stopped, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Summon him here. And they called the ivver, saying to him, Chazak! Cheer up! He is calling you!
50. And having tossed aside his kaftan, and having jumped up, he came to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
