☆ Gospel:Matthew 20:17-28
17
And when Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples on one side, and said to them,
18
See, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be given into the hands of the chief priests and scribes; and they will give orders for him to be put to death,
19
And will give him up to the Gentiles to be made sport of and to be whipped and to be put to death on the cross: and the third day he will come back again from the dead.
20
Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, giving him worship and making a request of him.
21
And he said to her, What is your desire? She says to him, Let my two sons be seated, the one at your right hand, and the other at your left, in your kingdom.
22
But Jesus made answer and said, You have no idea what you are requesting. Are you able to take of the cup which I am about to take?
23
They say to him, We are able. He says to them, Truly, you will take of my cup: but to be seated at my right hand and at my left is not for me to give, but it is for those for whom my Father has made it ready.
24
And when it came to the ears of the ten, they were angry with the two brothers.
25
But Jesus said to them, You see that the rulers of the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.
26
Let it not be so among you: but if anyone has a desire to become great among you, let him be your servant;
27
And whoever has a desire to be first among you, let him take the lowest place:
28
Even as the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.

☆ Jeremiah 18:18-20
18
Then they said, Come, let us make a design against Jeremiah; for teaching will never be cut off from the priest, or wisdom from the wise, or the word from the prophet. Come, let us make use of his words for an attack on him, and let us give attention with care to what he says.
19
Give thought to me, O Lord, and give ear to the voice of those who put forward a cause against me.
20
Is evil to be the reward of good? for they have made a deep hole for my soul. Keep in mind how I took my place before you, to say a good word for them so that your wrath might be turned away from them.
