25. But Jesus said to them, “The kings of the world rule over their people. Men who have authority over others are called ‘very important.’
26. But you must not be like that. The greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the leader should be like the servant.
27. Who is more important: the one sitting at the table or the one serving him? You think the one at the table is more important. But I am like a servant among you!
28. “You men have stayed with me through many struggles.
29. My Father has given me the power to rule. I also give you authority to rule with me.
30. You will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. You will sit on thrones and judge the 12 tribes of Israel.
