17 - As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and said, 18 “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the leaders, the chief priests and scribes, and they’ll condemn him to death. 19 They’ll deliver him over to the Gentiles/nations (via Rome) to be mocked and flogged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day.”

     20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee [John and James] came up to him with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him a favor. 21 He asked her, “What do you ask?” She said to him, “Tell me these two sons of mine will sit, one at your right hand, and one at your left, in your kingdom.” 22 Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you’re asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I’m to drink?” They said to him, “We’re able.” 23 He said, “You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it’s for those for whom it’s been prepared by my Father.”

     24 And when the other ten disciples heard of it, they were indignant at the other two. 25 But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 26 It’s not so among you. For whoever would be great among you must be as a servant. 27 And whoever would be first among you, must be as a slave. 28 Even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many [polus - multitude].” [1Tim.2:6 - who gave himself as a ransom for all (pas) which has been revealed at the proper time. 1Cor.15:22-24,28 w/ Mt.13:33, key word three, barley, wheat, grape. 27,28 is five times “pas”. Mt.13:30 is Rev.16:14-15-16 and Mt.25:1-13(10).]
