Matt.20.20

It was about that time that the mother of the Zebedee brothers came with her two sons and knelt before Jesus with a request.

Matt.20.20

Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him.

Matt.20.20

Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him.

Matt.20.20

Then the mother of James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus with her sons. She knelt respectfully to ask a favor.

Matt.20.21

"What do you want?" Jesus asked. She said, "Give your word that these two sons of mine will be awarded the highest places of honor in your kingdom, one at your right hand, one at your left hand."

Matt.20.21

"What is it you want?" he asked. She said, "Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom."

Matt.20.21

And He said to her, "What do you wish?" She said to Him, "Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom."

Matt.20.21

"What is your request?" he asked. She replied, "In your Kingdom, will you let my two sons sit in places of honor next to you, one at your right and the other at your left?"

Matt.20.22

Jesus responded, "You have no idea what you're asking." And he said to James and John, "Are you capable of drinking the cup that I'm about to drink?" They said, "Sure, why not?"

Matt.20.22

"You don't know what you are asking," Jesus said to them. "Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?We can," they answered.

Matt.20.22

But Jesus answered and said, "You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?" They said to Him, "We are able."

Matt.20.22

But Jesus told them, "You don't know what you are asking! Are you able to drink from the bitter cup of sorrow I am about to drink?Oh yes," they replied, "we are able!"

Matt.20.23

Jesus said, "Come to think of it, you are going to drink my cup. But as to awarding places of honor, that's not my business. My Father is taking care of that."

Matt.20.23

Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink from my cup, 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 by my Father."

Matt.20.23

So He said to them, "You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; 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 by My Father."

Matt.20.23

"You will indeed drink from it," he told them. "But I have no right to say who will sit on the thrones next to mine. My Father has prepared those places for the ones he has chosen."

Matt.20.24

When the ten others heard about this, they lost their tempers, thoroughly disgusted with the two brothers.

Matt.20.24

When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers.

Matt.20.24

And when the ten heard it, they were greatly displeased with the two brothers.

Matt.20.24

When the ten other disciples heard what James and John had asked, they were indignant.

Matt.20.25

So Jesus got them together to settle things down. He said, "You've observed how godless rulers throw their weight around, how quickly a little power goes to their heads.

Matt.20.25

Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.

Matt.20.25

But Jesus called them to Himself and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them.

Matt.20.25

But Jesus called them together and said, "You know that in this world kings are tyrants, and officials lord it over the people beneath them.

Matt.20.26

It's not going to be that way with you. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant.

Matt.20.26

Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

Matt.20.26

Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.

Matt.20.26

But among you it should be quite different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant,

Matt.20.27

Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave.

Matt.20.27

and whoever wants to be first must be your slave--

Matt.20.27

And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave--

Matt.20.27

and whoever wants to be first must become your slave.

Matt.20.28

That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not be served--and then to give away his life in exchange for the many who are held hostage." [JC]

Matt.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."

Matt.20.28

just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

Matt.20.28

For even I, the Son of Man, came here not to be served but to serve others, and to give my life as a ransom for many."

Matt.20.29

As they were leaving Jericho, a huge crowd followed.

Matt.20.29

As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him.

Matt.20.29

Now as they went out of Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.

Matt.20.29

As Jesus and the disciples left the city of Jericho, a huge crowd followed behind.

Matt.20.30

Suddenly they came upon two blind men sitting alongside the road. When they heard it was Jesus passing, they cried out, "Master, have mercy on us! Mercy, Son of David!"

Matt.20.30

Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"

Matt.20.31

The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"

Matt.20.31

Then the multitude warned them that they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, "Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!"

Matt.20.31

The crowd told them to be quiet, but they only shouted louder, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"

Matt.20.32

Jesus stopped and called over, "What do you want from me?"

Matt.20.32

Jesus stopped and called them. "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.

Matt.20.32

So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, "What do you want Me to do for you?"

Matt.20.32

Jesus stopped in the road and called, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Matt.20.33

They said, "Master, we want our eyes opened. We want to see!"

Matt.20.33

"Lord," they answered, "we want our sight."

Matt.20.33

They said to Him, "Lord, that our eyes may be opened."

Matt.20.33

"Lord," they said, "we want to see!"

Matt.20.34

Deeply moved, Jesus touched their eyes. They had their sight back that very instant, and joined the procession.

Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.
