Read Mark 10.32-45. 32-34 (Mt 20.17-19; Lk 18.31-34) The third passion prediction.
In verse 32 fear marks the disciples throughout the rest of the gospel.
In verses 35-45 (Mt 20.20-28; Lk 22.24-27) James and John.
The disciples have yet to learn Jesus' lessons of self-loss and humility;
Matthew protects their role by assigning the question to their mother.
In verse 45 ransom is paid to release captives and slaves; from whom or what
Jesus' death purchases release (Satan? sin?) is not specified (see comment on Mt 20.28).
