Luke 22:24-30
An Argument about Greatness
"The apostles got into an argument about which one of them was the
greatest. So Jesus told them: Foreign kings order their people
around, and powerful rulers call themselves everyone's friends. But
don't be like them. The most important one of you should be like the
least important, and your leader should be like a servant. Who do
people think is the greatest, a person who is served or one who
serves? Isn't it the one who is served? But I have been with you as a
servant. You have stayed with me in all my troubles. So I will give
you the right to rule as kings, just as my Father has given me the
right to rule as a king. You will eat and drink with me in my
kingdom, and you will each sit on a throne to judge the twelve tribes
of Israel."
God bless you.
