Matthew 20:27 Context
25But Iesus called them vnto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion ouer them, and they that are great, exercise authoritie vpon them. 26But it shall not be so among you: But whosoeuer will bee great among you, let him be your minister. 27And whosoeuer will be chiefe among you, let him be your seruant. 28Euen as the Sonne of man came not to be ministred vnto, but minister, and to giue his life a ransome for many. 29And as they departed from Hiericho, a great multitude followed him.
