Scripture
Matthew 20:20-24
20Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him.
21What is it you want? he asked. She said, Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.
22You don't know what you are asking, Jesus said to them. Can you drink the cup I am going to drink? We can, they answered.
23Jesus said to them, You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.
24When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers.
Matthew 27:56
56Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, Greek [Joses], a variant of [Joseph] and the mother of Zebedee's sons.
Mark 8:36
36What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
Colossians 3:23
23Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
