21 Il lui dit: Que veux-tu? Ordonne, lui dit-elle, que mes deux fils, que voici, soient assis, dans ton royaume, l’un à ta droite et l’autre à ta gauche.
22 Jésus répondit: Vous ne savez ce que vous demandez. Pouvez-vous boire la coupe que je dois boire? Nous le pouvons, dirent-ils.
23 Et il leur répondit: Il est vrai que vous boirez ma coupe; mais pour ce qui est d’être assis à ma droite et à ma gauche, cela ne dépend pas de moi, et ne sera donné qu’à ceux à quimon Père l’a réservé.
