The Dispute over Greatness

24 Then a dispute also arose among them about who should be considered the greatest.(A) 25 But He said to them,(B) “The kings of the Gentiles dominate them, and those who have authority over them are called(a) ‘Benefactors.’(b) 26 But it must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever is greatest among you must become like the youngest,(C) and whoever leads, like the one serving. 27 For who is greater, the one at the table or the one serving? Isn’t it the one at the table? But I am among you as the One who serves.(D)
