Luke 22:24-30

International Children’s Bible

Be Like a Servant

²⁴ Then the apostles began to argue about which one of them was the most important. ²⁵ But Jesus said to them, “The kings of the world rule over their people. Men who have authority over others are called ‘very important.’ ²⁶ But you must not be like that. The greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the leader should be like the servant. ²⁷ Who is more important: the one sitting at the table or the one serving him? You think the one at the table is more important. But I am like a servant among you!

²⁸ “You men have stayed with me through many struggles. ²⁹ My Father has given me the power to rule. I also give you authority to rule with me. ³⁰ You will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. You will sit on thrones and judge the 12 tribes of Israel.
