Mark 10:35-45

Jesus’ Teaching about Divorce

³⁵And there come near unto him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying unto him, Teacher, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall ask of thee. ³⁶And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you? ³⁷And they said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on [thy] left hand, in thy glory. ³⁸But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? ³⁹And they said unto him, We are able. And Jesus said unto them, The cup that I drink ye shall drink; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: ⁴⁰but to sit on my right hand or on [my] left hand is not mine to give; but [it is for them] for whom it hath been prepared.

⁴¹And when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with indignation concerning James and John. ⁴²And Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them. ⁴³But it is not so among you: but whosoever would become great among you, shall be your minister; ⁴⁴and whosoever would be first among you, shall be servant of all. ⁴⁵For the Son of man also came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
