²¹Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: Say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.

²²耶穌回答說：「你們不知道你們所求的是什麼，你們能飲我將要飲的爵嗎？」他們說：「我們能。」

²²And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can.

²³耶穌對他們說：「我的爵你們固然要飲；但坐在右邊或左邊，不是我可以給的，而是我父給誰預備了，就給誰。」

²⁶在你們中卻不可這樣；誰若願意在你們中成為大的，就當作你們的僕役；

²⁶It shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minister:

²⁷誰若願意在你們中為首，就當作你們的奴僕。

²⁷And he that will be first among you, shall be your servant.

²⁸就如人子來不是受服事，而是服事人，並交出自己的生命，為大眾」作贖價。
