Disciples’ Literal New Testament
The Disciples Argue Over Who Is Greatest. The Greatest Is The Servant of All
24 And a contention also took place among them as to which of them seems[a] to be greater[b]. 25 And the One said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles are lording-over[c] them. And the ones having-authority over them are calling-themselves ‘Benefactors[d]’. 26 But you shall not be so. But let the greater[e] one among you be like the younger one; and the one leading like the one serving.
