The Gospel of Mark continues on with Jesus and His apostles. James and John ask Jesus a favor that the two of them would be allowed to sit at His right and left. Jesus replied, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I shall drink, or be baptized with the baptism with which I shall be baptized?’

The two apostles both answered immediately that we can because of their ignorance. They had no idea what this cup that Jesus asked of them to drink involved.

Fr. Jim asks us this question. “Can we drink of this cup?”
