24 Also a dispute arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. |
25 Jesus said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. |
26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. |
27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. |
28 You are those who have stood by me in my trials. |
29 And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, |
30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. |
