Luke 22:24-30 - A Dispute About Who Is Greatest
24 And there happened also a strife among them -- who of them is accounted to be greater. 25 And he said to them, 'The kings of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those exercising authority upon them are called benefactors; 26 but ye are not so, but he who is greater among you -- let him be as the younger; and he who is leading, as he who is ministering; 27 for who is greater? he who is reclining (at meat), or he who is ministering? is it not he who is reclining (at meat)? and I -- I am in your midst as he who is ministering. 28 And ye -- ye are those who have remained with me in my temptations, 29 and I appoint to you, as my Father did appoint to me, a kingdom, 30 that ye may eat and may drink at my table, in my kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'
