Matthew 20:20-21

Matthew 20:20-21

20:20 Then the mother (Salome) of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him. 21 “What is it you want?” he asked. She said, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.” (For Complete Expository See Book) 

Extended Sermons

“Displays the insensitivity of some people, that they can start to ask for favors from God during the trials and crises of others” ⇒ You would think right after Jesus’ announcement of His suffering and death the disciples would have reacted with some kind of compassion, asking “Jesus how can we pray for you, how can we help you, how can we encourage you, how can we help you stand? Is there anything we can do for you? Instead they get into this conversation about who’s going to be the greatest in Jesus’ Kingdom, even getting one of their mothers involved.
