Matthew 20:20-22

J.B. Phillips New Testament

²⁰ At this point the mother of the sons of Zebedee arrived with her sons and knelt in front of Jesus to ask him a favour.

²¹ “What is it you want?” he asked her. “Please say that these two sons of mine may sit one on each side of you when you are king!” she said.

²² “You don’t know what it is you are asking,” replied Jesus. “Can you two drink what I have to drink?” “Yes, we can,” they answered.
