The mother of James and John came to Jesus with her two sons. She knelt down and started begging him to do something for her. Jesus asked her what she wanted, and she said, ‘When you come into your kingdom, please let one of my sons sit at your right side and the other at your left.’”

Are you able to drink from the cup that I must soon drink from?’ James and John said, ‘Yes, we are!’ Jesus replied, ‘You certainly will drink from my cup! But it isn't for me to say who will sit at my right side and at my left. This is for my Father to say.’”
