How to become respected in God’s kingdom

Mark 10:35–45

Mat 20:20–28

10:35 How to become respected in God’s kingdom

(Mat. 20:20-28)

35Then Yacob and Yohan, the two sons of Zebedee approached Yeshua and asked, “Teacher, we’d like to ask a favour from you—please don’t disappoint us.”

36What do you want from me?” Yeshua asked.

37They answered, “Allow us two to sit beside you in heaven—one of us on each side of you.”

38[ref]But Yeshua replied, “You don’t even understand what you’re asking for. Do you think you could endure the suffering that I have to go through? Or to be enveloped in the darkness that I have to go down into?

39And they replied, “Sure we can.”

And indeed you all will suffer like me and be enveloped in darkness like I will be,responded Yeshua, 40but as for deciding who will sit next to me, that’s not my decision to make because it’s already been decided.

41When the ten other apprentices heard what these two had asked for, they were upset at Yacob and Yohan. 42[ref]But Yeshua called them over, “Listen, in most countries their rulers boss the people around and their leaders exert their authority over them. 43[ref]But it doesn’t work like that with you—anyone of you who wanted to be honoured must serve the others, 44and anyone who wants to become the most respected has to work like a slave does. 45Even humanity’s child didn’t come to be served, but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom to set many people free.


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.
