²⁵ And he said to them, `The kings of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those exercising authority upon them are called benefactors;

²⁵ and Jesus having called them near, said, `Ye have known that the rulers of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those great do exercise authority over them,

²⁶ but not so shall it be among you, but whoever may will among you to become great, let him be your ministrant;

²⁷ and whoever may will among you to be first, let him be your servant;

²⁸ even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'

⁴¹ And the ten having heard, began to be much displeased at James and John,

⁴² but Jesus having called them near, saith to them, `Ye have known that they who are considered to rule the nations do exercise lordship over them, and their great ones do exercise authority upon them;

⁴³ but not so shall it be among you; but whoever may will to become great among you, he shall be your minister,

⁴⁴ and whoever of you may will to become first, he shall be servant of all;

⁴⁵ for even the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'
