Luke 22:25
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.
In context
23 Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.
24 A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them would be considered the greatest.
25 So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.
26 But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.
27 For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines? But I am among you as one who serves.
