Luke 22:26 in other translations
But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.
But not so with you. Rather, the one who is greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.
