Who Is the Greatest?

24 q A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. 25 r And he said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles s exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. 26 t But not so with you. Rather, let s the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. 27 For who is the greater, u one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But v I am among you as the one who serves.

28 "You are those who have stayed with me w in my trials, 29 and x I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, 30 y that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and z sit on thrones judging a the twelve tribes of Israel.
