Matthew Chapter 20, Verse 20
From BibleWiki
20: τοτε προσηλθεν αυτω η μητηρ των υιων ζεβεδαιου μετα των υιων αυτης προσκυνουσα και αιτουσα τι παρ αυτου
20: Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her
sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
20: Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons,
adoring and asking something of him.
Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children, etc. This was probably Salome, Mk 15:40, Mk 16:1.
With her sons. The names of these were James and John, Mk 10:35. Mark says they came and made the request. That is, they made it through the medium of their mother; they requested her to ask it for them. It is not improbable that she was an ambitious woman, and was desirous to see her sons honoured.
Worshipping him. Showing him respect; respectfully saluting him. In the original, kneeling. See Barnes "Mt 8:2".
