thine own, and begone: I chuse to give to this last even as to thee.
(15)Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? Is thine eye
evil, because I am good? (16)Thus shall the last be first, and the
first last; for many are called, but the elect are few.

(17)And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took his twelve disciples aside on
the road, and said to them; (18)Lo! we are going up to Jerusalem, and
the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and scribes, and

Gentiles, to insult, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day
he shall rise again.

(20)Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children, with her sons,
paying him obeisance, and petitioning a favour of him. (21)Then he said
