22:25So60 Jesus61 said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’6222:26Not so with you;63 instead the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader64 like the one who serves.65
Footnotes
- 60 Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the dispute among the apostles.
- 61 Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 62 The title ‘benefactor,’ highlighting grace and meaning something like “helper of the people,” was even given to tyrants (2 Macc 4:2; 3 Macc 3:19; Josephus, 3.9.8 [3.459]).
- 63 Grk “But you are not thus.”
- 64 Or “the ruler.”
- 65 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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
But he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who have authority over them have themselves called ‘Benefactors.’ It 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.

NLTNew Living Translation
Jesus told them, “In this world the kings and great men lord it over their people, yet they are called ‘friends of the people.’ But 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.
