Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, “Teacher, we want that whatever we may ask, You would do for us.”
And now I ask one petition of you; do not deny me.” She said to him, “Keep speaking.”
Then she said, “I desire one small petition of you. Please do not deny me.” And the king said to her, “Ask, my mother, for I will not refuse you.”
And going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and He called them.
He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
He took Peter and James and John with Him and began to be greatly distressed and very troubled.
He let no one follow Him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
After six days Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain, alone by themselves. And He was transfigured before them.
