25. He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them and those in authority over them are addressed as ‘Benefactors’;
26. but among you it shall not be so. Rather, let the greatest among you be as the youngest, and the leader as the servant.
27. For who is greater: the one seated at table or the one who serves? Is it not the one seated at table? I am among you as the one who serves.

29. and I confer a kingdom on you, just as my Father has conferred one on me,
30. that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31. “Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded to sift all of you like wheat,
32. but I have prayed that your own faith may not fail; and once you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers.”
33. He said to him, “Lord, I am prepared to go to prison and to die with you.”
