Matthew 20:21

Context
20:21 He said to her, “What do you want?” She replied, 1  “Permit 2  these two sons of mine to sit, one at your 3  right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.”

Matthew 20:23

Context
20:23 He told them, “You will drink my cup, 4  but to sit at my right and at my left is not mine to give. Rather, it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”

1 tn Grk “said to him.”

2 tn Grk “Say that.”

3 tc A majority of witnesses read σου (sou, “your”) here, perhaps for clarification. At the same time, it is possible that the pronoun dropped out through haplography or was excised because of perceived redundancy (there are two other such pronouns in the verse) by א B. Either way, the translation adds it due to the requirements of English style. NA27 includes σου here.

4 tc See the tc note on “about to drink” in v. 22.
