The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 20: 20-28

20:20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee approached him, kunye noonyana bakhe, adoring him, and petitioning something from him.
20:21 Wathi ke yena kuye, "Ingaba ufuna ntoni?” She said to him, “Declare that these, my two sons, may sit, one at your right hand, and the other at your left, in your kingdom.”
20:22 Kodwa uYesu, responding, watsho: “Aniyazi into eniyibuzayo. Are you able to drink from the chalice, from which I will drink?” Bathi kuye, “We are able.”
20:23 Wathi kubo: “From my chalice, kanjalo, uya kusela. But to sit at my right or my left is not mine to give to you, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
20:24 Kwaye ishumi, ekuveni oku, became indignant with the two brothers.
20:25 But Jesus called them to himself and said: “You know that the first ones among the Gentiles are their rulers, and that those who are greater exercise power among them.
20:26 It shall not be this way among you. But whoever will want to be greater among you, let him be your minister.
20:27 And whoever will want to be first among you, he shall be your servant,
20:28 even as the Son of man has not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a redemption for many.”
