Mark 10:44

Mark 10:35-45

³⁵And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come up to him, saying to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask you.” ³⁶But he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?” ³⁷And they said to him, “Grant us that we may sit, one at your right and one at your left, in your glory.” ³⁸But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I drink, or be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed?” ³⁹And they said to him, “We can.” And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink you will drink, and with the immersion with which I am immersed you will be immersed; ⁴⁰but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to grant; rather, it is for those for whom it has been prepared.” ⁴¹And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. ⁴²And summoning them, Jesus says to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. ⁴³But it is not so among you; rather, whoever wants to become great among you will be your servant, ⁴⁴and whoever wants to be first among you will be the slave of all. ⁴⁵For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Matthew 20:20-28

²⁰Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, bowing down and asking something of him. ²¹And he said to her, “What do you want?” She says to him, “Say that these two sons of mine may sit, one at your right and one at your left, in your kingdom.” ²²But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink?” They say to him, “We can.” ²³He says to them, “My cup you will drink, but to sit at my right and at my left is not mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” ²⁴And when the ten heard it, they were indignant at the two brothers. ²⁵But Jesus summoned them and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and the great ones exercise authority over them. ²⁶It will not be so among you; but whoever wants to become great among you will be your servant, ²⁷and whoever wants to be first among you will be your slave; ²⁸just as the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Luke 22:24-27

²⁴And there arose also a dispute among them as to which of them seemed to be the greatest. ²⁵And he said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called benefactors. ²⁶But you are not so; rather let the greatest among you become like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves. ²⁷For who is greater, the one who reclines at table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am among you as the one who serves.
