Luke 22:26
Who Is the Greatest?
25So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.26But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.27For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines? But I am among you as one who serves.
