Context
A Request for James and John
20:20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons , and kneeling down she asked him for a favor .
20:21 He said to her , “What do you want ?” She replied , “Permit these two sons of mine to sit , one at your right hand and one at your left , in your kingdom .”
20:22 Jesus answered , “You don’t know what you are asking ! Are you able to drink the cup I am about to drink ?” They said to him , “We are able .”
20:23 He told them , “You will drink my cup , but to sit at my right and at my left is not mine to give . Rather , it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father .”
20:24 Now when the other ten heard this, they were angry with the two brothers .
20:25 But Jesus called them and said , “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them , and those in high positions use their authority over them .
20:26 It must not be this way among you ! Instead whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant ,
20:27 and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave –
20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve , and to give his life as a ransom for many .”
