[No book] |
| [41]And when the ten heard that, they began to disdain at James and John. |
[No book] |
| [42]But Jesus called them unto him, and said to them, Ye know that they which delight to bear rule among the Gentiles, have domination over them, and they that be great among them, exercise authority over them. |
