Mark 10.35-45
The Request of James and John

"James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to Jesus and asked,
"Teacher, will you do us a favor?"

Jesus asked them what they wanted, and they answered, "When you come
into your glory, please let one of us sit at your right side and the
other at your left."

Jesus told them, "You don't really know what you're asking! Are you
able to drink from the cup that I must soon drink from or be baptized
as I must be baptized?"

"Yes, we are!" James and John answered.

Then Jesus replied, "You certainly will drink from the cup from which
I must drink. And you will be baptized just as I must! But it isn't
for me to say who will sit at my right side and at my left. That is
for God to decide."

When the ten other disciples heard this, they were angry with James
and John. But Jesus called the disciples together and said:

You know that those foreigners who call themselves kings like to order
their people around. And their great leaders have full power over the
people they rule. But don't act like them. If you want to be great,
you must be the servant of all the others. And if you want to be
first, you must be everyone's slave. The Son of Man did not come to
be a slave master, but a slave who will give his life to rescue many
people."

Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
Later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

God bless you.
