Matthew‬ ‭23‬:‭11‬, ‭ESV‬‬ The greatest among you shall be your servant. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭9‬:‭33‬-‭35‬, ‭ESV And they came to Capernaum. And when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?” But they kept silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest.
