24 And after hearing this, the other ten disciples became indignant with the two brothers. 25 (A)But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles domineer over them, and [a]those in high position exercise authority over them. 26 It [b]is not this way among you, (B)but whoever wants to become [c]prominent among you shall be your servant, 27 and whoever desires to be first among you shall be your slave; 28 just as (C)the Son of Man (D)did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His [d]life as a ransom for many.”
