True Greatness: Servant Leadership
Mark 10:35-45
35
Then Iames and Iohn the sonnes of Zebedeus came vnto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest doe for vs that we desire.
36
And he sayd vnto them, What would ye I should doe for you?
37
And they said to him, Graunt vnto vs, that we may sit, one at thy right hand, and the other at thy left hand in thy glory.
38
But Iesus sayd vnto them, Ye knowe not what ye aske. Can ye drinke of the cup that I shall drinke of, and be baptized with the baptisme that I shall be baptized with?
39
And they said vnto him, We can. But Iesus sayd vnto them, Ye shall drinke in deede of the cup that I shall drinke of, and be baptized with the baptisme wherewith I shalbe baptized:
40
But to sit at my right hand, and at my left, is not mine to giue, but it shalbe giuen to them for whome it is prepared.
41
And when the ten heard that, they began to disdaine at Iames and Iohn.
42
But Iesus called them vnto him, and sayd to them, Ye know that they which are princes among the Gentiles, haue domination ouer them, and they that be great among them, exercise authoritie ouer them.
43
But it shall not be so among you: but whosoeuer will be great among you, shall be your seruant.
44
And whosoeuer will be chiefe of you, shall be the seruant of all.
45
For euen the Sonne of man came not to be serued, but to serue, and to giue his life for the raunsome of many.
