James and John ask to sit at his right hand and his left

야고보와 요한이 좌우편에 앉기를 구함

Mark 10:35–45: James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come near to him and ask that in his glory one of them may sit at his right hand and one at his left. Jesus says they do not know what they are asking: are they able to drink the cup that he drinks, and to be baptized with the baptism that he is baptized with? They say they are able; they shall indeed, he says, but to sit at his right hand and at his left is not his to give: it is for those for whom it has been prepared. When the ten hear it, they are indignant toward James and John. Jesus summons them: those who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, but among them whoever wants to become great shall be their servant, and whoever wants to become first shall be bondservant of all; for the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

³⁵James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask.”
³⁶He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
³⁷They said to him, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand and one at your left hand, in your glory.”
³⁸But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
³⁹They said to him, “We are able.” Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;
⁴⁰but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared.”
⁴¹When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant toward James and John.
⁴²Jesus summoned them and said to them, “You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
⁴³But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.
⁴⁴Whoever of you wants to become first among you shall be bondservant of all.
⁴⁵For the Son of Man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
