Context of Mark 10:43
41And when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with indignation concerning James and John. 42And Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them. But it is not so among you: but whosoever would become great among you, shall be your minister; 44and whosoever would be first among you, shall be servant of all. 45For the Son of man also came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Christ shows them that dominion was generally abused…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 42-44the rulers of the Gentiles: The unbelieving world (the rulers in this world) thinks that leadership means dominating others.
