²⁷and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—

²⁷And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

²⁸even as the Son of Man came not to be served but ^(A)to serve, and ^(B)to give his life as a ransom for ^(C)many.”

²⁸just as the Son of Man^(A) did not come to be served, but to serve,^(B) and to give his life as a ransom^(C) for many.”

²⁸Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
