22 New English Bible (New Testament) Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

24Then a jealous dispute broke out: who among them should rank highest?The Dispute about Greatness Lk.22.24-30 (Jerusalem)Ἐγένετο δὲ καὶ φιλονεικία ἐν αὐτοῖς, τὸ τίς αὐτῶν δοκεῖ εἶναι μείζων.
25But he said, 'In the world, kings lord it over their subjects; and those in authority are called their country's "Benefactors". ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Οἱ βασιλεῖς τῶν ἐθνῶν κυριεύουσιν αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ἐξουσιάζοντες αὐτῶν εὐεργέται καλοῦνται.
26Not so with you: on the contrary, the highest among you must bear himself like the youngest, the chief of you like a servant. ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐχ οὑτως, ἀλλ' ὁ μείζων ἐν ὑμῖν γινέσθω ὡς ὁ νεώτερος, καὶ ὁ ἡγούμενος ὡς ὁ διακονῶν.
27For who is greater—the one who sits at table or the servant who waits on him? Surely the one who sits at table. Yet here am I among you like a servant.
 τίς γὰρ μείζων, ὁ ἀνακείμενος ἢ ὁ διακονῶν; οὐχὶ ὁ ἀνακείμενος; ἐγὼ δὲ ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν εἰμι ὡς ὁ διακονῶν.
28'You are the men who have stood firmly by me in my times of trial; ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε οἱ διαμεμενηκότες μετ' ἐμοῦ ἐν τοῖς πειρασμοῖς μου·
29and now I vest in you the kingship which my Father vested in me; κἀγὼ διατίθεμαι ὑμῖν καθὼς διέθετό μοι ὁ πατήρ μου βασιλείαν
30you shall eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones Or: trial; and as my Father gave me the right to reign, so I give you the right to eat and to drink ... and to sit ... as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel.

 ἵνα ἐσθητε καὶ πίνητε ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης μου ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ μου, καὶ καθήσεσθε ἐπὶ θρόνων τὰς δώδεκα φυλὰς κρίνοντες τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
