24 E quando os dez ouviram [isso] ,indignaram-se contra os dois irmãos.

25 Então Jesus os chamou a si, e disse: Vós bem sabeis que os chefes dos gentios os dominam, e os grandes usam de autoridade sobre eles.

26 Mas não será assim entre vós. Ao contrário, quem quiser se tornar grande entre vós seja o vosso assistente;

27 e quem quiser ser o primeiro entre vós seja o vosso servo;

28 assim como o Filho do homem não veio para ser servido, mas sim para servir, e para dar a sua vida em resgate por muitos.
