5. En Hy het niemand toegelaat om goed oor die tempelplein te dra nie. 
6. Toe het Hy die mense geleer en gesê: “Staan daar nie geskrywe: ‘My huis sal ‘n Huis van gebed vir al die nasies wees’ nie? Maar julle het dit ‘n rowersnes gemaak.”

8. Toe dit aand geword het, het Jesus en Sy dissipels uit die stad uit weggegaan.

10. Gedagtig aan wat Jesus gesê het, sê Petrus vir Hom: ‘Rabbi, kyk die vyeboom wat U vervloek het, is verdroog.’
11. Jesus sê toe vir hulle: “Julle moet geloof in God hê! 
12. “Dit verseker Ek julle: Elkeen wat vir hierdie berg sê: ‘Lig jou op en val in die see, en daarby nie in sy hart twyfel nie, maar glo dat wat hy sê sal gebeur, vir hom sal dit gebeur. 
13. “Daarom sê Ek vir julle: Alles wat julle in die gebed vra, glo dat julle dit al ontvang het, en dit sal vir julle so wees. 
14. “En wanneer julle staan en bid, en julle het iets teen iemand, vergewe hom; dan sal julle Vader wat in die hemel is, julle ook julle oortredinge vergewe.”

2. “Wat wil julle hê moet Ek vir julle doen?” Het Jesus daarop geantwoord. 
3. Hulle het Hom geantwoord: ‘Wanneer U as Koning heers, laat ons dan langs U sit, die een aan U regterhand en die ander een aan U linkerhand.’
4. “Julle weet nie wat julle vra nie,” antwoord Jesus hulle. “Kan julle die lydensbeker drink wat Ek drink, of met die doop gedoop word waarmee Ek gedoop word?”
5. ‘Ons kan,’ sê hulle vir Hom. Daarop sê Jesus vir hulle: “Die beker wat Ek drink, sal julle drink, ja, en met die doop wat Ek gedoop word, sal  julle gedoop word. 
6. “Maar om aan My regter of my linkerhand te sit, daaroor besluit Ek nie; dit is vir dié vir wie God dit gereed gemaak het.”
7. Toe die tien ander dit hoor, was Hulle verontwaardig daaroor.
8. Jesus roep hulle toe nader en sê vir hulle: “Julle weet dat dit by die nasies so is, dat hulle sogenaamde regeerders oor hulle baasspeel, en dat hulle groot manne die mag oor hulle misbruik. 
9. “Maar by julle moet dit nie so wees nie. Elkeen wat in julle kring groot wil word, moet julle dienaar wees. 
10. “En elkeen onder julle wat die eerste wil wees, moet julle almal se dienaar wees. 
11. “DIe Seun van die mens het ook nie gekom om gedien te word nie, maar om te dien, en Sy lewe te gee as losprys vir baie mense.”

4. Jesus said to them: “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism with which I Am baptized?”
5. And they said to Him: ‘We are able.’ And Jesus said to them: “The cup that I drink, you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized, 
6. “But to sit at My right hand or at My łeft, is not Mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father. 
7. And when the ten heard it, they were indignant to James and John. 
8. And Jesus called them to Him, and said to them: “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles, lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 
9. “But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you, must be your servant. 
10. “And whoever would be first among you, must be the slave of all.

6. “As for these things that you see, the days will come where there will not be left here, one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down.”
7. And they asked Him: ‘Teacher, when will these things be, and what will be the sign, when things are about to take place?’

5. Terwyl die hele volk na Jesus luister, sê Hy vir Sy dissipels: 
6. “Pas op vir die skrifgeleerdes, wat altyd met hulle deftige klere aan rondstap. Hulle hou van die begroetings op straat, van die voorste banke in die sinagoges, en die ereplekke by die maaltye.

5. And in the hearing of all the people, He said to His disciples: 
6. “Beware of the scribes, who walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the market places, and the best seats in the synagogues, and the places of honour at feasts,
