Obviously there is a connection between these two paragraphs above relating to the question of who is to sit on the right hand of Jesus. In the first paragraph we find James and John wanting to sit there. But Jesus says such a place is for whoever it has been prepared for. Then in the second paragraph we find that an angel is sitting on the right of where he had been placed.

3. (The Power of One - deals with) Asking

10:46-47

Bartimaeus asks to see

15:42-47

Joseph asks for body

10:46-47 They came to Jericho. And as he was going out from Jericho with his disciples and a sizeable crowd, a blind beggar named Timaeus Bartimaeus was sitting by the wayside. Hearing that Jesus the Nazarene was there he began to cry out and to say. “Jesus Son of David pity me.”

15:42-47 Now evening was coming. Since it was the day of preparation before the Sabbath, Joseph from Arimathea who was an honourable councillor, who was also expecting the kingdom of God, took courage. He went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate wondered if He had already died. Calling to him the centurion he questioned him about how long ago he had died. Then knowing about this from the centurion he granted the corpse to Joseph. He (Joseph) brought a piece of unused linen and taking Him down, he wrapped him in the linen and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of rock. They rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. Mary the Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he had been laid.
