Luke 22:25

“He said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called 'benefactors.”

Verse in context — Luke 22

They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.

There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.

He said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called 'benefactors.

But not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.

For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn't it he who sits at the table? But I am in the midst of you as one who serves.
