Matthew 20:27

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

And he that will be first among you, shall be your servant.

See the chapter Copy

But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is the leader, as he that serveth.

For we preach not ourselves, but Jesus Christ our Lord; and ourselves your servants through Jesus.

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.

To the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the wise and to the unwise, I am a debtor;

But I most gladly will spend and be spent myself for your souls; although loving you more, I be loved less.

For I suppose that I have done nothing less than the great apostles.

It shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minister:

Even as the Son of man is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a redemption for many.
