10:35 How to become respected in God’s kingdom
35 Then 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.”
36 “What do you want from me?” Yeshua asked.
37 They 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?”
39 And they replied, “Sure we can.”
“And indeed you all will suffer like me and be enveloped in darkness like I will be,” responded Yeshua, 40 “but as for deciding who will sit next to me, that’s not my decision to make because it’s already been decided.”
41 When 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, 44 and anyone who wants to become the most respected has to work like a slave does. 45 Even 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
20 Then Zebedee’s wife approached Yeshua with her two sons, Yacob and Yohan. She knelt in front of him, obviously wanting to ask for something.
21 “What 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.”
22 But 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.”
23 “Well, 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.”
24 Now 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, 27 and anyone who wants to be first, should be your slave, 28 in 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.”
Luk 12:50:
50 [ref]but I have to undergo an immersion into suffering, and until it’s achieved, the weight of it coming crushes my soul.
Luk 22:25-26:
25 so Yeshua said, “In other countries, the kings are the master over the people and they call themselves ‘benefactors’ of those they have authority over. 26 [ref]But all of you shouldn’t be like that, but rather the greatest one of you should become like the youngest, and the one who leads you all should become like the servant.
Mat 23:11:
11 [ref]The most important person will be everyone’s servant
Mrk 9:35:
35 [ref]So Yeshua sat down and called the twelve of them and explained, “Anyone who wants to be at the top, has to be at the bottom and help all the others.”
Luk 22:26:
26 [ref]But all of you shouldn’t be like that, but rather the greatest one of you should become like the youngest, and the one who leads you all should become like the servant.
Luk 22:25-26:
25 so Yeshua said, “In other countries, the kings are the master over the people and they call themselves ‘benefactors’ of those they have authority over. 26 [ref]But all of you shouldn’t be like that, but rather the greatest one of you should become like the youngest, and the one who leads you all should become like the servant.
Luk 22:26:
26 [ref]But all of you shouldn’t be like that, but rather the greatest one of you should become like the youngest, and the one who leads you all should become like the servant.
