Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him. ...Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”(Matthew20:20,25-28 NIV)
耶稣把他们叫过来,说:“你们知道各国都有元首统治他们,也有官长管辖他们。 但你们中间却不要这样;谁想在你们中间成为大的,就要作你们的仆役; 谁想在你们中间为首的,就要作你们的奴仆。 正如人子来,不是要受人的服事,而是要服事人,并且要舍命,作许多人的赎价。”(马太福音20:25-28 新译本)
“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah.The greatest among you will be your servant.For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.(Matthew23:8-12 NIV)
然而你们不要被人称为‘拉比’,因为只有一位是你们的老师,你们都是弟兄。 不要称呼地上的人为父,因为只有一位是你们的父,就是天父。 你们也不要被人称为师傅,因为只有一位是你们的师傅,就是基督。 你们中间最大的,必作你们的仆人。 凡高抬自己的,必被降卑;凡自己谦卑的,必被升高。(马太福音23:8-12 新译本)
