La vida de Jesús
James and John Ask for Places of Honor
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, ask Jesus to let them sit at his right and left hands in his glory. Jesus answers that they do not know what they are asking, and asks if they can drink the cup he drinks and be baptized with the baptism he is baptized with. When the other ten disciples become angry, Jesus teaches them that whoever wants to be great in God's kingdom must be a servant, just as the Son of Man came to serve and give his life as a ransom for many.
Marcos 10,35-45
35James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him and said, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask."
Καὶ προσπορεύονται αὐτῷ Ἰάκωβος καὶ Ἰωάννης ⸀οἱ υἱοὶ Ζεβεδαίου λέγοντες ⸀αὐτῷ· Διδάσκαλε, θέλομεν ἵνα ὃ ἐὰν αἰτήσωμέν ⸀σε ποιήσῃς ἡμῖν.
36"What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Τί θέλετε ⸀ποιήσω ὑμῖν;
37They said to him, "Grant that in your glory we may sit, one at your right hand and one at your left."
οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· Δὸς ἡμῖν ἵνα εἷς ⸂σου ἐκ δεξιῶν⸃ καὶ εἷς ἐξ ⸀ἀριστερῶν καθίσωμεν ἐν τῇ δόξῃ σου.
38Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?"
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Οὐκ οἴδατε τί αἰτεῖσθε· δύνασθε πιεῖν τὸ ποτήριον ὃ ἐγὼ πίνω, ⸀ἢ τὸ βάπτισμα ὃ ἐγὼ βαπτίζομαι βαπτισθῆναι;
39"We can," they answered. Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink you will drink, and with the baptism I am baptized with you will be baptized;
οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· Δυνάμεθα. ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ⸀Τὸ ποτήριον ὃ ἐγὼ πίνω πίεσθε καὶ τὸ βάπτισμα ὃ ἐγὼ βαπτίζομαι βαπτισθήσεσθε,
40but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant. It belongs to those for whom it has been prepared."
τὸ δὲ καθίσαι ἐκ δεξιῶν μου ⸀ἢ ἐξ εὐωνύμων οὐκ ἔστιν ἐμὸν δοῦναι, ἀλλʼ οἷς ἡτοίμασται.
41When the ten heard this, they became angry with James and John.
Καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ δέκα ἤρξαντο ἀγανακτεῖν περὶ Ἰακώβου καὶ Ἰωάννου.
42So Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
⸂καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος αὐτοὺς ὁ Ἰησοῦς⸃ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Οἴδατε ὅτι οἱ δοκοῦντες ἄρχειν τῶν ἐθνῶν κατακυριεύουσιν αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ μεγάλοι αὐτῶν κατεξουσιάζουσιν αὐτῶν.
43It must not be like that among you. Instead, whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant,
οὐχ οὕτως δέ ⸀ἐστιν ἐν ὑμῖν· ἀλλʼ ὃς ⸀ἂν θέλῃ ⸂μέγας γενέσθαι⸃ ἐν ὑμῖν, ἔσται ὑμῶν διάκονος,
44and whoever wants to be first among you must be slave of all.
καὶ ὃς ⸀ἂν θέλῃ ⸂ἐν ὑμῖν εἶναι⸃ πρῶτος, ἔσται πάντων δοῦλος·
45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
καὶ γὰρ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἦλθεν διακονηθῆναι ἀλλὰ διακονῆσαι καὶ δοῦναι τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ λύτρον ἀντὶ πολλῶν.
