When the mother of James and John approached Jesus on their behalf to ask that they be granted favored positions in the Kingdom, Jesus addressed the brothers directly, saying: “This sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father. ”
فَقَدِ ٱنْتَهَرَ يَعْقُوبَ وَيُوحَنَّا لِأَنَّهُمَا أَرَادَا ٱسْتِنْزَالَ نَارٍ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ عَلَى عَدَدٍ مِنَ ٱلسَّامِرِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَقْبَلُوهُ .‏
