35 James and John, the sons of Zebʹe·dee,+ approached him and said to him: “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.”+ 36 He said to them: “What do you want me to do for you?” 37 They replied: “Grant us to sit down, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.”+ 38 But Jesus said to them: “You do not know what you are asking for. Can you drink the cup that I am drinking or be baptized with the baptism with which I am being baptized?”+ 39 They said to him: “We can.” At that Jesus said to them: “The cup I am drinking, you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am being baptized, you will be baptized.+ 40 However, to sit down at my right hand or at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared.”
