The Holy Gospel According to Mark 10: 35-45

10:35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, drew near to him, ρητό, "Δάσκαλος, we wish that whatever we will ask, you would do for us.”
10:36 Αλλά τους είπε, “What do you want me to do for you?”
10:37 Και είπαν, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your glory.”
10:38 Αλλά ο Ιησούς τους είπε: “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink from the chalice from which I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized?”
10:39 Αλλά του είπαν, “We can.” Then Jesus said to them: "Πράγματι, you shall drink from the chalice, from which I drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism, with which I am to be baptized.
10:40 But to sit at my right, or at my left, is not mine to give to you, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
10:41 And the ten, στο άκουσμα αυτό, began to be indignant toward James and John.
10:42 Αλλά ο Ιησούς, calling them, τους είπε: “You know that those who seem to be leaders among the Gentiles dominate them, and their leaders exercise authority over them.
10:43 But it is not to be this way among you. αντι αυτου, whoever would become greater shall be your minister;
10:44 and whoever will be first among you shall be the servant of all.
10:45 Έτσι, πολύ, the Son of man has not come so that they would minister to him, but so that he would minister and would give his life as a redemption for many.”
