Luke 22:24-30

24Then they began to argue among themselves about who would be the greatest among them.

25Jesus told them, “In this world the kings and great men lord it over their people, yet they are called ‘friends of the people.’

26But among you it will be different. Those who are the greatest among you should take the lowest rank, and the leader should be like a servant.

27Who is more important, the one who sits at the table or the one who serves? The one who sits at the table, of course. But not here! For I am among you as one who serves.

28“You have stayed with me in my time of trial.

29And just as my Father has granted me a Kingdom, I now grant you the right

30to eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. And you will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
