Matthew 20:26-28
26 This, however, is not the way it shall be among you. If one of you wants to be great, you must be the servant of the rest; 27 and if one of you wants to be first, you must be the slave of the others— 28like the Son of Man, who did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life to redeem many people. ”
