27. Jesus looked at them and replied, “This is impossible for mere humans, but not for God; all things are possible for God.”
28. Peter began to speak to him, “Look, we have left everything to follow you!”
29. Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, there is no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the gospel
30. who will not receive in this age a hundred times as much – homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, fields, all with persecutions – and in the age to come, eternal life.
31. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
32. They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem. Jesus was going ahead of them, and they were amazed, but those who followed were afraid. He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was going to happen to him.
33. “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and experts in the law. They will condemn him to death and will turn him over to the Gentiles.
34. They will mock him, spit on him, flog him severely, and kill him. Yet after three days, he will rise again.”
35. Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him and said, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask.”
36. He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
37. They said to him, “Permit one of us to sit at your right hand and the other at your left in your glory.”
38. But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I experience?”
39. They said to him, “We are able.” Then Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism I experience,
40. but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to give. It is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
41. Now when the other ten heard this, they became angry with James and John.
