Mk 10 : 35 - 45

Date: 

Wednesday, August 29, 2012

 

10:35 And James and John the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying: Master, we desire that whatsoever we shall ask, thou wouldst do it for us:

10:36 But he said to them: "What would you that I should do for you?"

10:37 And they said: Grant to us, that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.

10:38 And Jesus said to them: "You know not what you ask. Can you drink of the chalice that I drink of: or be baptized with the baptism wherewith I am baptized?"

10:39 But they said to him: We can. And Jesus saith to them: "You shall indeed drink of the chalice that I drink of: and with the baptism wherewith I am baptized, you shall be baptized.

10:40 But to sit on my right hand, or on my left, is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared."

10:41 And the ten hearing it, began to be much displeased at James and John.

10:42 But Jesus calling them, saith to them: "You know that they who seem to rule over the Gentiles, lord it over them: and their princes have power over them.

10:43 But it is not so among you: but whosoever will be greater, shall be your minister.

10:44 And whosoever will be first among you, shall be the servant of all.

10:45 For the Son of man also is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a redemption for many.
