Matthew 20:23
Though it is difficult for us to at first understand, God’s purposes are established form before time began. Jesus did not overstep the bounds of what Almighty God had already laid out. As God, Jesus understood completely what he was explaining here. Jesus would not be making any changes to the set order of things as he, in the entirety of the Godhead, had already set them. He does not actually deny their request. Instead, he is basically saying that this has all already been determined and the honors will be given accordingly.
