Question

To whom did Jesus say, "You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my father."

A) Peter
B) James
C) John
D) Judas

Answer 1

In Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper painting, Jesus tells his apostles that sitting at his right or left hand is not for him to grant, but is prepared by his Father.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Last Supper scene depicted by Leonardo da Vinci, Jesus says to his apostles, 'You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my father.'

This statement was made in response to James and John's mother's request to have her sons sit at Jesus' right and left hand in his kingdom (Matthew 20:20-23). However, Jesus clarifies that such positions of honor are not determined by him, but are prepared by his Father.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is C) John.
