3. “But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know
that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over
them, and they that are great exercise authority upon
them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever
will be great among you, let him be your minister; And
whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your
servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be
ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a
ransom for many.”
