Luke 22:24-30
New International Version
24 A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.(A) 25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. 26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest,(B) and the one who rules like the one who serves.(C) 27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.(D) 28 You are those who have stood by me in my trials. 29 And I confer on you a kingdom,(E) just as my Father conferred one on me, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom(F) and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.(G)

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) 28 You are the ones who stood by Me in My trials.(E) 29 I bestow on you a kingdom,(F) just as My Father bestowed one on Me, 30 so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom.(G) And you will sit on thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel.(H)

King James Version
Luke 22:24-30
King James Version
24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
