The Disciples Argue About Greatness
24 aNow there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered the greatest.
25 aAnd He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’
26 aBut not so among you; on the contrary, bhe who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves.
27 aFor who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet bI am among you as the One who serves.
30 that ayou may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, band sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

32 But aI have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, bstrengthen your brethren.”
