The Book of Jesus Chapter Thirteen: The life of Jesus from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John in easy-to-read, chronological format.
Promise that these, my two sons may sit one at your right hand and the other at your left in your kingdom.
JAMES/JOHN.
Allow us to sit one at your right hand and the other at your left in your glory.
JESUS.
You don't know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I'm going to drink or be baptized with the baptism with which
I must be baptized?
JAMES/JOHN.
We're able!
JESUS.
The cup that I must drink you will indeed drink, and the baptism with which I must be baptized, you will be baptized. But as for the
seats on my right hand and my left, these aren't mine to give; they belong to those whom my Father has prepared them for.
NARRATOR.
When the other ten heard this, they began to feel resentment with the two brothers James and John. Jesus called them to him and said
to them:
JESUS.
You know that among the people who don't believe in God, their so-called rulers lord it over them, and their great men make their
authority felt. But this is not how it should be among you. No, anyone who wants to become great among you must become your
servant, and anyone who wants to be first among you must be slave to everyone else. For the Son of Man himself did not come to be
served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.
Matthew 20:20-28; Mark 10:35-45

NARRATOR.
He entered Jericho. He was going through the town when a man whose name was Zacchaeus appeared. Zacchaeus, who was one of
the senior tax collectors and a wealthy man wanted to see what kind of man Jesus was, but he was too short and could not see him for
the crowd. Running ahead, he climbed a sycamore tree to catch a glimpse of Jesus who was going to pass by that way. When Jesus
reached the spot he looked up and said to him:
JESUS.
Zacchaeus, hurry up and come down, because I must stay at your house today.
NARRATOR.
He hurried down and welcomed him joyfully. When they saw what had happened, they all started complaining.
PEOPLE.
He's going to stay at a sinner's house!
NARRATOR.
Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord:
ZACCHAEUS.
Look, sir, I give half of my property to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody I pay him back four times the amount.
JESUS.[to him]
Today salvation has come to this house, because this man also is a son of Abraham; for the Son of Man has come to seek out and save
what was lost.
Luke 19:1-10
