"'But
the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the
table. The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed, but woe to
that man who betrays him.' They began to question among themselves
which of them it might be who would do this.
Also a dispute arose among them as to which of them was considered
to be greatest. Jesus said to them, 'The kings of the Gentiles
lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call
themselves Benefactors. 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. For who is greater, the one who
is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at
the table? But I am among you as one who serves. You are those who
have stood by me in my trials. And I confer on you a kingdom, just
as my Father conferred one on me, so that you may eat and drink at
my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve
tribes of Israel.'"
