Mark 10:39 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 10:39

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 ^acup that I drink, and be baptized with the ^bbaptism that I am baptized with?”

39 They said to Him, “We are able.” So Jesus said to them, ^a“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 ^afor whom it is prepared.”

41 ^aAnd when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with James and John.

42 But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, ^a“You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
