10:35-45 And
James and John the two sons of
Zebedee approached him saying.
“Teacher we hope that whatever we may ask you, you could do for
us.” He said to them. “What do you
want me to do for you?” And they
said to him. “Allow us so that one
of us can sit on your right and one
of us sit on your left when you come into your
glory.” And Jesus said to them. “You
do not know what you ask for. Can
you drink the cup which I am to drink or undertake the baptism which I am
undergoing and will be baptized with?”
And they said to him “We can”.
And Jesus said to them. “The
cup which I drink you shall drink and the baptism with which I am being
baptized is something you shall also be baptized with. But to sit on the right or on the left of
me is not mine to give. It is for
whomever it has been prepared."
And hearing this the ten (others) began to
be incensed with James and John.
Calling them to himself, Jesus said to them. “You know that whoever is thinking to
rule and lord it over the nations and exercise authority like great people
shall not do so. Whoever amongst you
who wishes to be great needs to become your servant. And whoever amongst you who wishes to be
first shall be the slave of all. For
the Son of man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life
as a ransom on behalf of many."

16:1-7
And when the Sabbath was passed Mary the Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salome
brought spices so that coming they might anoint him (Jesus). And it was very early on the first day of
the week when they came upon the tomb - as the sun rose. They said to themselves. “Who will roll
away the stone out of the door of the tomb for us?” It was very heavy. Looking up they saw that the stone had
already been rolled back. Entering
into the tomb they saw a young man sitting
on the right. He was clothed in
a white robe. They were greatly
astonished. But he said to
them. "Do not be amazed. You are seeking Jesus the Nazarene. After
having been crucified, he was raised.
He is not here. Look at the
place where they put him. But go and
tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you into Galilee. You
will see him there as he told you."
