Mark 10:43

Read in context

Mark 10:41–45 · Berean Standard Bible

41 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John.

42 So Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them.

43 But it shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

44 and whoever wants to be first must be the slave of all.

45 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.”
