Suffering and Service
20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons approached Him with her sons.(A) She knelt down to ask Him for something.(B) 21 “What do you want?” He asked her.
“Promise,”[a] she said to Him, “that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right and the other on Your left, in Your kingdom.”(C)
22 But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you’re asking. Are you able to drink the cup[b] that I am about to drink?”[c](D)
“We are able,” they said to Him.
