25072016 Gospel Mt 20:20-28

The mother of the sons of Zebedee approached Jesus with her sons and did him homage, wishing to ask him for something. He said to her, “What do you wish?” She answered him, “Command that these two sons of mine sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your Kingdom.”

Jesus said in reply, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the chalice that I am going to drink?” They said to him, “We can.” He replied, “My chalice you will indeed drink, but to sit at my right and at my left, this is not mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” When the ten heard this, they became indignant at the two brothers.

But Jesus summoned them and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and the great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave. Just so, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Waya lamang magpalandong an nanay nila James sanan ni John na an ija tangajo kan Jesus para sa ija mga anak dili mahihatag dila kay an Ija ra man Father sa heaven an magahatag sa Ija tagpreparahan na hatagan.

Mahimo na maantos nila kon uno man an dangatan kan Jesus pag-abot nan panahon, pero, an paghatag nan ingkuranan sa tuo sanan sa waya ni Jesus didto sa langit, si God ra an magbuot.

Kon sin-o kuno an gusto na mahiuna, kinanghan kuno mahimo na suluguon parehas nan Son of Man na nokanhi sa lupa dili kon para silbehan kundili kon para Sija magsilbe sanan mag-sakripisyo sa Ija kinabuhi para masalbar lamang an mga kasay’anan nan mga katawhan.
