Exegesis
The adversative all’ {ἀλλʼ | all’} introduces the Father’s prerogative in hoîs hētoímastai hypò tou patrós mou {οἷς ἡτοίμασται ὑπὸ τοῦ πατρός μου}, where the dative relative hoîs identifies the recipients and the perfect passive hētoímastai stresses completion and enduring effect of the Father’s preparation. The English preserves the Greek contrasts and clarifies infinitival subjects while highlighting divine authority and predetermined roles.
In context — Matthew 20:23
He said to them, “You will indeed drink My cup, but to sit at My right hand and at My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father .”
