Mt. 20:17 Then Yeshua, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them,
Mk. 10:32 Now they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Yeshua was going before them; and they were amazed. And as they followed they were afraid. Then He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them the tings that would happen to Him.
Mt. 20:18 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death.”
Mk. 10:33 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death and deliver Him to the Gentiles.”
Lk. 18:31 Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be accomplished.”
Again, note the use of the word “prophets” in the verse from Luke. You will not find a single verse in the Hebrew Scriptures that says all these things about the Messiah. These verses found here in the Gospels are a summary of what all the prophets said.
Mt. 20:19a “And deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify.”
Mk. 10:34a “And they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him.”
Lk. 18:33a “And they will scourge Him and put Him to death.”
Mt. 20:19b “And the third day He will rise again.”
Mk. 10:34b “And on the third day He will rise again.”
Lk. 18:33b “And on the third day He will rise again.”
Lk. 18:34 But they understood none of these things, this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know the things which were spoken.
The disciples still didn’t seem to comprehend what must happen to Him in Jerusalem.
Mt. 20:20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him.
Mk. 10:35 Then James and John , the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask.”
Mt. 20:21a And He said to her, “What do you wish?”
Mk. 10:36 And He said to them, “What do you want for Me to do for you?”
Mt. 20:21b She said to Him, “Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your Kingdom.”
Mk. 10:37 They said to Him, “Grant us that we may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on Your left, in Your glory.”
It is a minor contradiction, but in Matthew it is the son’s mother that asks the question. In Mark, it is the disciples themselves that ask the question of the Lord.
Mt. 20:22a But Yeshua answered and said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am about to be baptized with?”
Mk. 10:38 But Yeshua said to them, “You do not know what you ask. Can you drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
Mt. 20:22b They said to Him, “We are able.”
Mk. 10:39a And they said to Him, “We can.”
The idea of identification and oneness through participation is rooted in Scripture. For example, the concept of a shared cup is found in the teachings of Yeshua. In this question, Yeshua is probing to see if these disciples were prepared to share in His destiny, to experience His lot. James and John replied, “We can.” The fate they would undergo involved suffering with their Lord. Their sharing the common cup in the Upper Room was a further affirmation of this fact. Yeshua could not turn back; He had set His face toward Calvary to take upon Himself God’s judgment for human sin. Thus the disciples were choosing a road that would also eventually lead to most of their deaths. According to church tradition, eleven of the twelve disciples would be martyred.
Mt. 20:23a So He said to them, “You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with.”
Mk. 10:39b And Yeshua said to them, “You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism I am baptized with you will be baptized.”
Mt. 20:23b “But to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those whom it is prepared by My Father.”
Mk. 10:40 “But to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared.”
Mt. 20:24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brothers.
Mk. 10:41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with James and John.
Mt. 20:25 But Yeshua called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them.”
Mk. 10:42 But Yeshua called them to Himself and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.”
Mt. 20:26 “Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.”
Mk. 10:43 “Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.”
Mt. 20:27 “And whoever desires to be the first among you, let him be your slave.”
Mk. 10:44 “And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all.”
Mt. 20:28 “Just as the Son of Man did not come to be serves, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
Mk. 10:45 “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
