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

24 And there arose also a dispute among them as to which of them could be considered the greatest, 25 and he said to them. "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who have who have authority over them are called Benefactors. 26 "But you shall not be so. But he who is greater among you let him become like the younger; and he who is leader like him who serves. 27 "For which is greater, he who sits at table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at table? But I am in your midst as one who serves. 28 "You, however, are those who have stood by me in my trials. 29 "And I promise you a kingdom, even as my Father has promised me a kingdom; 30 "so that you shall eat and drink in my kingdom, and you shall sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
