Luke 22:24-30

24A dispute also started among them over which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.

25So Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’

26Not so with you; instead the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the one who serves.

27For who is greater, the one who is seated at the table, or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is seated at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

28“You are the ones who have remained with me in my trials.

29Thus I grant to you a kingdom, just as my Father granted to me,

30that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
