EasyEnglish Bible

⁴⁰ But I cannot promise that you will sit at my right side or at my left side. God has chosen the people who will sit there. He has prepared the places for those people.’

⁴¹ When the other ten disciples heard about this, they were angry with James and John. ⁴² But Jesus told the disciples to come to him. He said to them, ‘You know the things that rulers of other countries do. They show that they have much power over their people. The leaders of those countries use great authority over their people.
