Gospel
Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said to Him, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You.” He replied, “What do you wish Me to do for you?” They answered Him, “Grant that in Your Glory we may sit one at Your right and the other at Your left.”
Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the Cup that I drink or be Baptized with the Baptism with which I am Baptized?” They said to him, “We can.”
Jesus said to them, “The Cup that I drink, you will drink, and with the Baptism with which I am Baptized, you will be Baptized; but to sit at My right or at My left is not Mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
This is the truth! Peace be with you!
