← Matthew 20:22 [words of Jesus]	Matthew 20:23 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Matthew 20:24 →
But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.	And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but [it shall be given to them] for whom it is prepared of my Father.	And when the ten heard [it], they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
