But it is not to be so with you; but let the greatest among you be as the youngest; and he that is chief, as he that serveth.
27 For who ranks higher, he who sits dining, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits dining? But I am in the midst of you as he who serves.
For which is greater? he who reclineth at the table, or he who serveth? Is not he that reclineth at the table? But I am in the midst of you as he who serveth.
28 But ye are those who have continued with me in my trials.
Ye however are they who have continued steadfastly with me in my trials.
29 And I appoint to you, just as my Father appointed to me a kingdom,
