In context

²⁵But Jesus called them aside and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them.

²⁶It shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

²⁷And whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave—

²⁸Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

²⁹As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him.
