Zusammenfassung:In Mark, the life of the disciple is presented as being essentially continuous with that of Jesus. A disciple is one who is able to become a diakonos and a doulos, which come with following Jesus. However, the disciples of Jesus in general and James and John in particular demonstrated a misunderstanding of discipleship when they made a request for seats of honor in Mk 10.35-42. This article demonstrates through a social scientific reading of Mk 10.43-44 that Jesus' teaching on diakonos and doulos is a call to true discipleship. This shall be achieved by studying the literature review on Mk 10.35-45 as a point of departure. The meaning of the words diakonos and doulos in Mk 10.43-44 shall be explained as part of exegesis on the text. The purpose is to demonstrate that Jesus' response to discipleship misconceptions is a call to true discipleship.
