Luke 22:26

NETBible

Not so with you; 1  instead the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader 2  like the one who serves. 3 

NIV ©

But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves.

NASB ©

"But it is not this way with you, but the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant.

NLT ©

But among you, those who are the greatest should take the lowest rank, and the leader should be like a servant.

MSG ©

It's not going to be that way with you. Let the senior among you become like the junior; let the leader act the part of the servant.

BBE ©

But let it not be so with you; but he who is greater, let him become like the younger; and he who is chief, like a servant.

NRSV ©

But not so with you; rather the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like one who serves.

NKJV ©

"But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves.

Not so with you; 1  instead the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader 2  like the one who serves. 3 

NET Notes

1 tn Grk “But you are not thus.”

2 tn Or “the ruler.”

3 sn And the leader like the one who serves. Leadership was not to be a matter of privilege and special status, but of service. All social status is leveled out by these remarks. Jesus himself is the prime example of the servant-leader.
