Matthew 20:18-20

J.B. Phillips New Testament

Jesus’ final journey to Jerusalem

^17-19 Then, as he was about to go up to Jerusalem, Jesus took the twelve disciples aside and spoke to them as they walked along. “Listen, we are now going up to Jerusalem and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes—and they will condemn him to death. They will hand him over to the heathen to ridicule and flog and crucify. And on the third day he will rise again!”

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.
