Context
21Yesu akamuuliza, “Unataka nini?” Akajibu, “Tafadhali, wajalie wanangu hawa ili mmoja aketi upande wako wa kuume, na mwingine upande wako wa kushoto katika Ufalme wako.” 22Yesu akawaambia, “Ninyi hamjui mnaloliomba. Je, mnaweza kukinywea kikombe nitakachonywea mimi?”
Wakajibu, “Tunaweza.” 23Yesu akawaambia, “Kwa kweli kikombe changu mtakinywea, lakini kuketi upande wangu wa kuume au wa kushoto si langu mimi kuwapa. Nafasi hizo ni za wale ambao wameandaliwa na Baba yangu.” 24Wale wanafunzi wengine kumi waliposikia haya, waliwakasirikia hao ndugu wawili. 25Lakini Yesu akawaita wote pamoja na kuwaambia, “Mnafahamu kuwa watawala wa watu wa Mataifa huwatawala kwa nguvu, nao wenye vyeo huonyesha mamlaka yao.
