33 And they came to Capernaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them, What treated ye in the way?
34 And they were still; for they disputed among them[selves] in the way, who of them should be [the] greatest.
35 And he sat, and called the twelve, and said to them [and saith to them], If any man will be the first among you, he shall be the last of all, and the minister of all [and minister, or servant, of all].

Luke 6:27-36
Wycliffe Bible
27 But I say to you that hear, love ye your enemies, do ye well to them that hated you [do ye well to them that hate you];
28 bless ye men that curse you, pray ye for men that defame you [pray ye for men that falsely challenge you].
29 And to him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, show also the other [give also the other]; and from him that taketh away from thee a cloak [thy cloth], do not thou forbid the coat.
30 And give to each that asketh thee, and if a man taketh away those things that be thine [and he that taketh away those things that be thine], ask thou not again.
31 And as ye will that men do to you, do ye also to them in like manner.
32 And if ye love them that love you, what thank is to you [what grace, or thank, is to you]? for sinful men love men that love them.
33 And if ye do well to them that do well to you, what grace is to you[a]? for sinful men do this thing.
34 And if ye lend to them of which ye hope to take again, what thank is to you [And if ye give borrowing, or lend, to them, of whom ye hope for to take again, what grace, or thank, is to you]? for sinful men lend to sinful men, to take again as much.
35 Nevertheless love ye your enemies, and do ye well, and lend ye, hoping nothing thereof, and your meed shall be much, and ye shall be the sons of the Highest, for he is benign on [upon] unkind men and evil men.
36 Therefore be ye merciful, as [and] your Father is merciful.

Luke 12:35-37
Wycliffe Bible
35 Be your loins girded above, and lanterns burning in your hands;
36 and be ye like to men that abide their lord [and ye like to men abiding their lord], when he shall turn again from the weddings, that when he shall come, and knock, at once [anon] they open to him.
37 Blessed be those servants, that when the lord shall come [whom when the lord shall come], he shall find waking. Truly I say to you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit to meat [and make them sit at the meat], and he shall go, and serve them.

Luke 22:24-27
Wycliffe Bible
24 And strife was made among them, which of them should be seen to be greatest.
25 But he said to them, Kings of heathen men be lords of them, and they that have power on them be called good doers, [Forsooth he said to them, Kings of heathen men be lords, or lordship, of them, and they that have power upon them be called good doers,]
26 but ye not so; but he that is greatest among you, be made as a younger [be made as the younger], and he that is [a] before-goer, as a servant.
27 For who is greater, he that sitteth at the meat, or he that ministereth? whether not he that sitteth at the meat? And I am in the middle of you [Forsooth I am in the midst of you], as he that ministereth.

John 13:1-17
Wycliffe Bible
13 But before the feast day of pask Jesus witting, that his hour is come, that he pass from this world to the Father [Jesus witting, for his hour cometh, that he pass over this world to the Father], when he had loved his that were in the world, into the end he loved them.
2 And when the supper was made, when the devil had put then into the heart, that Judas of Simon Iscariot should betray him, [And the supper made, when the devil had sent now into the heart of Judas, of Simon Iscariot, that he should betray him,]
3 he witting that the Father gave all things to him into his hands, and that he went out from God, and goeth to God,
4 he riseth from the supper, and doeth off his clothes; and when he had taken a linen cloth, he girded him(self).
5 And afterward he put water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe with the linen cloth, with which he was girded.
6 And so he came to Simon Peter, and Peter saith to him, Lord, washest thou my feet?
7 Jesus answered, and said to him, What I do, thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know afterward.
8 Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered to him, If I shall not wash thee, thou shalt not have part with me.
9 Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, not only my feet, but both the hands and the head [but and mine hands and the head].
10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed, hath no need but that he wash the feet, but he is all clean [but he is clean all]; and ye be clean, but not all.
11 For he knew, who it was that should betray him [Forsooth he knew, who should betray him]; therefore he said, Ye be not all clean.
12 And so after that he had washed their feet, he took his clothes; and when he was set to meat again, again he said to them, Ye know what I have done to you. [Therefore after that he had washed the feet of them, he took his clothes; and when he had rested again, again he said to them, Know ye what I have done to you(?)]
13 Ye call me master and Lord, and ye say well; for I am.
14 Therefore if I, Lord and master, have washed your feet, and ye shall wash one another's feet [and ye owe to wash another the tother's feet];
15 for I have given to you ensample, that as I have done to you, so do ye. [for I have given example to you, that as I have done to you, so and ye do.]
16 Truly, truly, I say to you, the servant is not greater than his lord, neither an apostle is greater than he that sent him.
17 If ye know these things, ye shall be blessed, if ye do them.

Philippians 2:3-8
Wycliffe Bible
3 nothing by strife, neither by vain glory, but in meekness, deeming each other to be higher than himself;[a]
4 not beholding each by himself what things be his own, but those things that be of other men. [not each by themselves beholding what things be their own, but those things that be of others.]
5 And feel ye this thing in you, which was also in Christ Jesus;
6 which when he was in the form of God, deemed not raven, that himself were even to God; [which when he was in the form of God, deemed not raven, himself to be even to God;]
7 but he lowed himself [but he meeked himself], taking the form of a servant, and was made into the likeness of men,
8 and in habit was found as a man. He meeked himself, and was made obedient to the death[b], yea, to the death of the cross.
