New Testament for Everyone
Prediction of Peter’s denial
24 A quarrel began among them: which of them would be seen as the most important?
25 “Pagan kings lord it over their subjects,” said Jesus to them, “and people in power get themselves called ‘Benefactors.’ 26 That’s not how it’s to be with you. The most important among you ought to be like the youngest. The leader should be like the servant.

Luke 22:24-26
New International Version
24 A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.(A) 25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. 26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest,(B) and the one who rules like the one who serves.(C)
