³⁵ He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.”^(A)

²⁵ But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them.^{(A) 26} It will not be so among you, but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant,^{(B) 27} and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave, ²⁸ just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and to give his life a ransom for many.”^(C)

⁴² So Jesus called them and said to them, “You know that among the gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. ⁴³ But it is not so among you; instead, whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant,^{(A) 44} and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all. ⁴⁵ For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and to give his life a ransom for many.”^(B)

²⁶ But not so with you; rather, the greatest among you must become like the youngest and the leader like one who serves.^(A)

¹⁰ But when you are invited, go and sit down at the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher’; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.^{(A) 11} For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”^(B)

¹¹ The greatest among you will be your servant.^(A)

⁶ But God gives all the more grace; therefore it says,

¹⁴ I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other, for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted.”^(A)

⁵ And you, do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them, for I am going to bring disaster upon all flesh, says the Lord, but I will give you your life as a prize of war in every place to which you may go.”^(A)
