Requesting the top seats

20:20 Requesting the top seats

(Mark 10:35-45)

20Then Zebedee’s wife approached Yeshua with her two sons, Yacob and Yohan. She knelt in front of him, obviously wanting to ask for something.

21What is it that you’re wanting?” Yeshua asked.

“Promise that my two sons will be able to sit beside you in the kingdom,” she said, “one on the right and one on the left.”

22But Yeshua answered, “You all don’t realise what you’re asking. Do you think you’ll be able to bear the suffering that I will have to suffer?

“Yes,” they replied, “we can.”

23Well, you will indeed share the suffering with me,” Yeshua responded. “But on the other hand, sitting on my right and my left is not my decision to make, because my father will have prepared those places.

24Now the other ten who’d heard all this, took offence at the two brothers 25[ref]but Yeshua called them over and said, “You all know that the rulers of other nations practice total control over their people, as do other powerful people. 26[ref]But among all of you, it shouldn’t be like that. Instead anyone who wants to become great should be your servant, 27and anyone who wants to be first, should be your slave, 28in the same way that humanity’s child didn’t come to be served, but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many people.
