Today’s GospeL Verses ~ Mark 10:35-45
35 - James and John, the sons of Zebedee said to Jesus, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” (Zebedee was a fisherman by trade, they and Peter and Andrew worked for. James and John, sons of him, were referred to by Jesus as “sons of thunder”. )
36 Jesus asked them, “What do you want me to do for you?” 37 And they said, “Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left hand, at your glory.” 38 Jesus answered them saying, “You don’t know what you’re asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I will? Or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am about to be baptized?” 39 And they said, “Yes, we are able.” And Jesus answered, “The cup I drink you indeed will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you too will be baptized, 40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to give, but is prepared for those prepared for/of it.” 41 And when the ten heard it, they a little indignant at James and John. 42 But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles/nations, lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43 But it should not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant. 44 And whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
(God was against Israel having any king but Him - as King of the universe - greek - kosmos. And Jesus, with him, is king of humanity.)

(In the Order Believed Written)
~ James 2:9-16 ~
9 - But if you show partiality, you commit [ergazomai - work, trade, do] sin [hamartian - miss the mark] and are shown up by the law to be transgressing. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it. 11 The same God who told us to be faithful in marriage also told us not to murder. So even if you are faithful in marriage, but murder someone, you still have broken God's Law. 12 So speak and act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. 13 For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14 What good is it, my brethren, if someone says they have faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food,16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?
