Luke 22:24-30
New Matthew Bible
24 And there was a dispute among them, which of them should be taken for the greatest. 25 And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles reign over them, and those who bear rule over them are called gracious lords. 26 But you shall not be like this. Rather, he who is greatest among you shall be as the youngest, and he who is chief shall be as the servant. 27 For who is greater: he who sits at food, or he that serves? Is it not he who sits at food? But I am among you as he that serves. 28 And you are those who have stayed with me in my trials. 29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father has appointed to me, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit upon seats, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.

Authorized (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.
