MARK 10:37 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.”
They replied, let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory — the right and left in glory is the request for the two highest positions in Jesus' coming kingdom — the royal court positions of the chief ministers. The request reveals that James and John have understood enough of Jesus' teaching to know he is coming to glory; they have not yet understood that the path to that glory runs through the cross, or that the ones at Jesus' right and left in his final hour (Mark 15:27) will be crucified criminals.
