What Were They Asking For?
From Come and See by Archimandrite Philip Hall, and Ancient Faith Ministries
April 5, 2026
About this episode
James and John ask for important positions in God's Kingdom, but Jesus teaches them about sharing in His suffering.
James & John cheekily ask for the most important positions in the Kingdom of God, but Jesus only offers a share in His upcoming suffering. It is to this cup that they, and us, are to drink and be baptized from. Passages discussed: Heb 9:11-14; Mark 10:32-45
