The Argument about Greatness (LUK 22:24-30)

[22:24] An argument broke out among the disciples as to which one of them should be thought of as the greatest.

[22:25] Jesus said to them, “The kings of the pagans have power over their people, and the rulers claim the title ‘Friends of the People.’

[22:26] But this is not the way it is with you; rather, the greatest one among you must be like the youngest, and the leader must be like the servant.

[22:27] Who is greater, the one who sits down to eat or the one who serves? The one who sits down, of course. But I am among you as one who serves.

[22:28] “You have stayed with me all through my trials;

[22:29] and just as my Father has given me the right to rule, so I will give you the same right.

[22:30] You will eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and you will sit on thrones to rule over the twelve tribes of Israel.
