Luke 22:24-30

Who Is Greatest

24 And there arose also ¹a dispute among them as to which one of them was regarded to be greatest.

25 ²And He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who have authority over them are called 'Benefactors.'

26 "But it is not this way with you, ³but the one who is the greatest among you must become like ⁴the youngest, and the leader like the servant.

27 "For ⁵who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But ⁶I am among * you as the one who serves.

28 "You are those who have stood by Me in My ⁷trials;

29 and just as My Father has granted Me a ⁸kingdom, I grant you

30 that you may ⁹eat and drink at My table in My ¹⁰kingdom, and ¹¹you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
