Matthew 20:27

New American Bible - revised edition

whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave.

See the chapter Copy

but among you it shall not be so. Rather, let the greatest among you be as the youngest, and the leader as the servant.

For we do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for the sake of Jesus.

To Greeks and non-Greeks alike, to the wise and the ignorant, I am under obligation;

I will most gladly spend and be utterly spent for your sakes. If I love you more, am I to be loved less?

For I think that I am not in any way inferior to these “superapostles.”

But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant;

Just so, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” The Healing of Two Blind Men.
