14. Jesus called them together and said, “You
know that the rulers in this world lord it
over their people, and officials flaunt their

among you it will be different. Whoever
wants to be a leader among you must be
your servant, and whoever wants to be first
among you must become your slave.”
Matthew 20: 25-27
