門徒在山上向耶穌說，「賜我們在你的榮耀裡，一個坐在你右邊，一個坐在你左邊。」(馬可10:37) 他們沒有體會耶穌上十字架的心情。在整個過程中，從法利賽人到門徒，到很有錢的人，都不知道耶穌要做什麼，可是耶穌堅持上耶路撒冷被釘十字架的決心就呈現了出來。耶穌也在教訓門徒，更叮囑我們，基督徒的人生應是一個付出的人生，將我們擁有的恩賜去分享，去服侍他人，這才是我們應該追求的生命。
The disciples said to Jesus on the mountain, "Grant us to sit in your glory, one at your right hand and one at your left." (Mark 10:37) They did not understand Jesus' mood when he went to the cross. Throughout the whole process, no one from the Pharisees to the disciples to the very wealthy knew what Jesus was going to do, but Jesus’ determination to go to Jerusalem to be crucified was revealed. Jesus is also teaching his disciples and exhorting us that the Christian life should be a life of giving, sharing the gifts we have and serving others. This is the life we should pursue.
