Mark 10:41-45 Part 2 of 2

    When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

 

"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Matthew 20:28

"... just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Luke 22:27  

"For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves."  (see Luke 22:24-30)

Philippians 2:6-7  

Who, being in very nature God,

    did not consider equality with God something to used to his 

        own advantage;

rather, he made himself nothing

    by taking the very nature of a servant,

    being made in human likeness.  (see Philippians 2:5-11)
