Mar 10:38-40 | MHM | STEP | v. 38–40 : Jesus answered, You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with? They boldly said they could, but Jesus told them they would indeed share in his sufferings. However, the places of honor in his kingdom were not his to give but would be prepared by the Father (Mark 10:38-40 ). This reminds us that following Jesus means sharing in his suffering, and we must trust God’s plan for our reward.
