26 Mas não [seja] assim entre vós; antes o maior de vós seja como o menor; e o que lidera, como o que serve.
27 Porque qual é maior? O que se senta [à mesa] ,ou o que serve? Por acaso não é o que se senta [à mesa] ? Porém eu estou entre vós como aquele que serve.

29 E eu vos determino um Reino, assim como meu pai o determinou a mim.
