Matthew 20:21-23

New Catholic Bible

²¹ “What do you wish?” he asked her. She said to him, “Promise that these two sons of mine may sit, one at your right hand and the other at your left, in your kingdom.” ²² Jesus said in reply, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup^[a] I am going to drink?” They said to him, “We can.”

²³ He then said to them, “You shall indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not in my power to grant. Those places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.”
