Luke 22:24-30
1599 Geneva Bible
24 ¶ (A)[a]And there arose also a strife among them, which of them should seem to be the greatest.
25 But he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles reign over them, and they that bear rule over them, are called [b]bountiful.
26 But ye shall not be so: but let the greatest among you be as the least: and the chiefest as he that serveth.
27 For who is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at table? And I am among you as he that serveth.
28 [c]And ye are they which have continued with me in my tentations.
29 Therefore I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me,
30 (B)That ye may eat, and drink at my table, in my kingdom, and sit on seats, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
