Gospel Mark 10:32-45
32Now they were on the way ascending to Jerusalem. And Jesus went ahead of them, and they were astonished. And those following him were afraid. And again, taking aside the twelve, he began to tell them what was about to happen to him.
33“For behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be handed over to the leaders of the priests, and to the scribes, and the elders. And they will condemn him to death, and they will hand him over to the Gentiles.
34And they will mock him, and spit on him, and scourge him, and put him to death. And on the third day, he will rise again.”
35And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, drew near to him, saying, “Teacher, we wish that whatever we will ask, you would do for us.”
36But he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
37And they said, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your glory.”
38But Jesus said to them: “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink from the chalice from which I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized?”
39But they said to him, “We can.” Then Jesus said to them: “Indeed, you shall drink from the chalice, from which I drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism, with which I am to be baptized.
40But to sit at my right, or at my left, is not mine to give to you, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
41And the ten, upon hearing this, began to be indignant toward James and John.
42But Jesus, calling them, said to them: “You know that those who seem to be leaders among the Gentiles dominate them, and their leaders exercise authority over them.
43But it is not to be this way among you. Instead, whoever would become greater shall be your minister;
44and whoever will be first among you shall be the servant of all.
45So, too, the Son of man has not come so that they would minister to him, but so that he would minister and would give his life as a redemption for many.”

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.
Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
