⁴² But Jesus called them to [Him] and said to them, You know that those who are recognized as governing and are supposed to rule the Gentiles (the nations) lord it over them [ruling with absolute power, holding them in subjection], and their great men exercise authority and dominion over them.

⁴³ But this is not to be so among you; instead, whoever desires to be great among you must be your servant,

⁴⁴ And whoever wishes to be most important and first in rank among you must be slave of all.

⁴⁵ For even the Son of Man came not to have service rendered to Him, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for (^[a]instead of) many.

²⁵ And Jesus called them to Him and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men hold them in subjection [tyrannizing over them].

²⁶ Not so shall it be among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant,

²⁷ And whoever desires to be first among you must be your slave—

²⁸ Just as the Son of Man came not to be waited on but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many [the price paid to set them free].

²⁵ But Jesus said to them, The kings of the Gentiles ^[a]are deified by them and exercise lordship [^[b]ruling as emperor-gods] over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors and well-doers.

²⁶ But this is not to be so with you; on the contrary, let him who is the greatest among you become like the youngest, and him who is the chief and leader like one who serves.

²⁷ For who is the greater, the one who reclines at table (the master), or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am in your midst as One Who serves.
