25But Jesus called them aside and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them.
26It shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
27and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave —
28just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
— Matthew 20:25-28
