6Gospel. St Matthew xx. 20—23. At that time, the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, worshipping, and asking something of him. Who said to her, What wilt thou? She saith to him, Say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom. 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. He saith to them, My chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father. Credo.
