Luke 22:23-27
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
23And they began to debate among themselves which one of them it was who was going to do this.
24And a dispute also developed among them as to which one of them was regarded as being the greatest.
25And He said to them, 'The kings of the Gentiles domineer over them; and those who have authority over them are called ‘Benefactors.’
26But it is not this way for you; rather, the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant.
27For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves.
King James Version
Chapter 22
23And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. 24And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. 25And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 26But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 27For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 22
23So they began to argue among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do it.
24Then a dispute also arose among them about who should be considered the greatest.
25But he said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who have authority over them have themselves called 'Benefactors.'
26It is not to be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever is greatest among you should become like the youngest, and whoever leads, like the one serving.
27For who is greater, the one at the table or the one serving? Isn't it the one at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves.
New Living Translation
24Then they began to argue among themselves about who would be the greatest among them.
25Jesus told them, 'In this world the kings and great men lord it over their people, yet they are called ‘friends of the people.’
26But among you it will be different. Those who are the greatest among you should take the lowest rank, and the leader should be like a servant.
27Who is more important, the one who sits at the table or the one who serves? The one who sits at the table, of course. But not here! For I am among you as one who serves.
English Standard Version

23And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.
24A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
25And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors.
26But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.
27For who is the greater, one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am among you as the one who serves.
New International Version
24A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.
25Jesus said to them, 'The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors.
26But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves.
27For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

Chapter 22
23Then they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.
24Now there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered the greatest.
25And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’
26But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves.
27For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as the One who serves.
