But many who are first will be last, and the last first."

Now they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them; and they were amazed. And as they followed they were afraid. Then He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them the things that would happen to Him:
33
"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and deliver Him to the Gentiles;
34
and they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again."
35
Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, "Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask."
36
And He said to them, "What do you want Me to do for you?"
37
They said to Him, "Grant us that we may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on Your left, in Your glory."
38
But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"
39
They said to Him, "We are able." So Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism I am baptized with you will be baptized;
40
but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared."
41
And when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with James and John.
