A Mother Asks Jesus a Favor
20 Then the wife of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons. She bowed before him and asked him to do something for her.
21 Jesus asked, “What do you want?”
She said, “Promise that one of my sons will sit at your right side and the other will sit at your left side in your kingdom.”
22 But Jesus said, “You don’t understand what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am about to drink?”[a]
The sons answered, “Yes, we can.”
