  sons: A few manuscripts read “two sons,” but the shorter reading has strong manuscript support.
  
  James and John, the sons of Zebedee, approached him: According to Matthew’s account, the mother of James and John approaches Jesus with this request, but her two sons are evidently the source of the request. This conclusion is supported by Matthew’s report that on hearing about this request, the ten other disciples “became indignant,” not at the mother, but “at the two brothers.”—Mt 20:20-24; see study notes on Mt 4:21; 20:20.
