Matthew 20:27

Weymouth NT

and whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant;

See the chapter Copy

Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this young child, he it is who is superior to others in the Kingdom of the Heavens.

Not so shall it be among you; but whoever desires to be great among you shall be your servant,

just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as the redemption-price for many.«

With you it is not so; but let the greatest among you be as the younger, and the leader be like him who serves.

I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:

Why, I reckon myself in no respect inferior to those superlatively great Apostles.

And as for me, most gladly will I spend all I have and be utterly spent for your salvation.

(For we do not proclaim ourselves, but we proclaim Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bondservants for the sake of Jesus.)
