Lukas 22:26

22:26 Not so with you; ¹  instead the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader ²  like the one who serves. ³ 

[22:26]  ¹ tn Grk “But you are not thus.”

[22:26]  ² tn Or “the ruler.”

[22:26]  ³ sn And the leader like the one who serves. Leadership was not to be a matter of privilege and special status, but of service. All social status is leveled out by these remarks. Jesus himself is the prime example of the servant-leader.
