Matthew 20:24-28
New American Standard Bible
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.”

Matthew 20:24-28
King James Version
24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
