20:14. Take what is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last
even as to thee.

because I am good?
What I will... Viz., with my own, and in matters that depend on my own
bounty.

left, in thy kingdom.
20:22. And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you
drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can.

on my right or left hand is not mine to give to you, but to them for
whom it is prepared by my Father.
20:24. And the ten, hearing it, were moved with indignation against the
two brethren.

of the Gentiles lord it over them; and that they that are the greater,
exercise power upon them.

you, let him be your minister.

minister and to give his life a redemption for many.

But they cried out the more, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have
mercy on us.

to you?

immediately they saw and followed him.
