Luke 22:24-30

Evangelical Heritage Version

Who Is Greatest?

²⁴ A dispute arose among the disciples about which of them was considered to be greatest. ²⁵ But he told them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called Benefactors. ²⁶ But it is not to be that way with you. Instead, let the greatest among you become like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves. ²⁷ For who is greater, one who reclines at the table or one who serves? Isn’t it the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. ²⁸ You are those who have remained with me in my trials. ²⁹ I am going to grant a kingdom to you, just as my Father granted to me, ³⁰ so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. And you will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
