Matthew 20:20-24
Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him.
"What 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."
"You 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.
Jesus 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."
When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers.
Matthew 27:56
Among 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
What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
Colossians 3:23
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
