^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.”

^25 (A)And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles domineer over them; and those who have authority over them are called ‘Benefactors.’ ²⁶ But it is not this way for you; ^(B)rather, the one who is the greatest among you must become like ^(C)the youngest, and the leader like the servant. ²⁷ For ^(D)who 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 ^(E)I am among you as the one who serves.
