Contextual Overview

³² And as they were in the way, going up to Jerusalem, Jesus went before them: and they were amazed, and walked after him with trembling. And he took his twelve, and began to tell them what was to befall him. ³³ Behold, we are going to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and the Scribes; and they will condemn him to die, and will deliver him over to the Gentiles. ³⁴ And they will mock him, and will scourge him, and will spit in his face, and will kill him; and on the third day he will arise. ³⁵ And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him, and said to him: Teacher, we desire that thou wouldst do for us all that we ask. ³⁶ He saith to them: What would ye, that I should do for you? ³⁷ They say to him: Grant to us, that one may sit on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy glory. ³⁸ But he said to them: Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup, of which I drink? and to be baptized with the baptism, that I am baptized with? ³⁹ They say to him: We are able. Jesus saith to them: The cup that I drink, ye will drink, and the baptism that I am baptized with, ye will be baptized with: ⁴⁰ But that ye should sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine o give, except to those for whom it is prepared. ⁴¹ And when the ten heard [fn] , they began to murmur against James and John.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said unto them,.... And also to their mother, and to them by her, what

would ye that I should do for you? Christ insists upon their telling him the particular thing they wanted to have done for them, before he would give them any promise, though he knew very well what it was they were desirous of.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 20:20-28.

Mark 10:35

And James and John ...came unto him - They did this through the instrumentality of their mother. They did not come in “person,” but they got their mother to make the request for them. Compare the notes at Matthew 20:20.
