Mark 10:40

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

But giving out those seats of honor — one on my right, one on my left — that's not my call to make. Those spots are already reserved for whoever they're meant for.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Even Jesus knows some decisions aren't his to make — they're already part of a bigger plan.
