Luke 22:24-30 - A Dispute About Who Is Greatest

24 Now it came to pass, that there was also a contention among them, even which of them should be accounted to be the greatest. 25 And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they who exercise authority over them are called benefactors. 26 But ye shall not act thus: but the superior among you, let him be as the junior; and he that presideth, as he that serveth. 27 For which is the greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that waits? is not he that sitteth at table? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth. 28 Ye are they who have continued with me during my trials. 29 And I appoint you, as my Father hath appointed me, a kingdom; 30 that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
