Matthew 20:25-28
New American Standard Bible
25 (A)But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles domineer over them, and [a]those in high position exercise authority over them. 26 It [b]is not this way among you, (B)but whoever wants to become [c]prominent among you shall be your servant, 27 and whoever desires to be first among you shall be your slave; 28 just as (C)the Son of Man (D)did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His [d]life as a ransom for many.”

Young's Literal Translation
25 and Jesus having called them near, said, `Ye have known that the rulers of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those great do exercise authority over them,
26 but not so shall it be among you, but whoever may will among you to become great, let him be your ministrant;
27 and whoever may will among you to be first, let him be your servant;
28 even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'
