Matthew 20:20 Douay-Rheims

Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him.

Origen

c. A.D. 184–253 Patristic

For if in an earthly kingdom they are thought to be in honour who sit with the king, no wonder if a woman with womanish simplicity or want of experience conceived that she might ask such things, and that the brethren themselves being not perfect, and having no more lofty thoughts concerning Christ’s kingdom, conceived such things concerning those who shall sit with Jesus.
