22 But Iesus answered, and sayde: Ye wote not what ye axe. Maye ye drynke the cuppe, that I shal drynke? & to be baptised with the baptyme, that I shalbe baptysed withall?
23 They sayde vnto him: Yee that we maye. And he sayde vnto them: My cuppe truly shal ye drynke, & with the baptyme yt I shal be baptysed withall, shal ye be baptysed: Neuertheles to syt vpon my right honde & on my left, is not myne to geue, but vnto the for who it is prepared of my father.

25 But Iesus called them vnto him, and sayde: Ye knowe that ye prynces of the worlde haue domynacion of the people, and the greatest exercise power amonge the.
26 It shal not be so amonge you. But whoso euer wyl be greate amonge you, let him be youre mynister:
27 & who soeuer wyl be chefe, let him be youre seruaunt:
28 Euen as the sonne of man came, not to be serued, but to do seruyce, and to geue his life to a redepcion for many.
