Matthew 20:13-23 World English Bible (WEB)

13. “But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius?

14. Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.

15. Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’

16. So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”

17. As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,

18. “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

19. and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”

20. Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.

21. He said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom.”

22. But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They said to him, “We are able.”

23. He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with, but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
