And when it was evening he cometh with the twelve. And there arose also
a contention among them, which of them was accounted to be greatest. And
he said unto them, "The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them;
and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors. But ye
shall not be so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as
the younger: and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. For which is
greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? Is not he that
sitteth at meat? But I am in the midst of you as he that serveth. But ye
are they that have continued with me in my temptations; and I appoint
unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me, that ye may
eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones
judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
