Mark 10: 26 - 45
| 26They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, “Then who can be saved?” |
| 27Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.” |
| 28Peter began to tell him, “Behold, we have left all, and have followed you.” |
| 29Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News, 30but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time: houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with persecutions; and in the age to come eternal life. 31But many who are first will be last; and the last first.” |
| 32They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him. 33“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles. 34They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.” |
| 35James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask.” |
| 36He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?” |
| 37They said to him, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand, and one at your left hand, in your glory.” |
| 38But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptised with the baptism that I am baptised with?” |
| 39They said to him, “We are able.” |
| Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptised with the baptism that I am baptised with; 40but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared.” |
| 41When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards James and John. |
| 42Jesus summoned them, and said to them, “You know that they who are recognised as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43But it shall not be so amongst you, but whoever wants to become great amongst you shall be your servant. 44Whoever of you wants to become first amongst you, shall be bondservant of all. 45For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” |
