Matthew 20:23

Then he said, "You will drink my cup, but the places at my right and left are not mine to give. They will be given to those for whom my Father has prepared them."
[It is clear that James and John did not understand what they were asking for. Only Jesus can bear the sin of the world. "Drinking the cup" is a metaphor for going through suffering, see Ps. 75:9; Isa. 51:17. However, Jesus predicts that they will suffer for their faith later. James was beheaded, see Acts 12:2; and John was deported to the island of Patmos, see Rev 1:9. A similar discussion about who is greatest also takes place on the last evening with Jesus before his crucifixion, see Luke 22:24–27.]
