Mark 10:31-33

New Testament for Everyone

³¹ But plenty of people at the front will end up at the back, and the back at the front.”

The request of James and John

³² They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem. Jesus was walking ahead of them; they were amazed, and the people following were afraid.

Again he took the Twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to him. ³³ “Look,” he said, “we’re going up to Jerusalem. The son of man will be handed over to the chief priests and the legal experts, and they will condemn him to death, and hand him over to the pagans.
