What did Peter say to Jesus in regard to compensation for his services?
“Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?” ([Matthew xix, 27]).
What request was made by James and John?
Mark: “They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory” ([x, 37]).
