Mark records the following,
10:35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. “Teacher,”
they said, “we want you to do for us whatever we ask.” 36 “What do you
want me to do for you?” he asked. 37 They replied, “Let one of us sit
at your right and the other at your left in your glory.” 38 “You don’t
know what you are asking,” Jesus said. “Can you drink the cup I drink
or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?” 39 “We can,” they
answered. Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink and be
baptized with the baptism I am baptized with, 40 but to sit at my
right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for
whom they have been prepared.”
Matthew records this incident in Matthew 20:20-23 with a few slight differences but the point of the story is essentially the same.
For whom has the right or left of Jesus been prepared?
