Context of Mark 10:43
41And the ten having heard [of it], began to be indignant about James and John. 42But Jesus having called them to [him], says to them, Ye know that those who are esteemed to rule over the nations exercise lordship over them; and their great men exercise authority over them; but it is not thus among you; but whosoever would be great among you, shall be your minister; 44and whosoever would be first of you shall be bondman of all. 45For also the Son of man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and give his life a ransom for many.

Christ shows them that dominion was generally abused…Read the comment
