Serving One Another Matthew 20: 28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. (KJV) Your attitude must be like my own, for I, the Messiah, did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give my life as a ransom for many. (LB)

Washing one’s feet –John 13: 4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. –5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. http://jaminology.com/2012/05/08/the-hidden- meaning-of-jesus-washing-the-disciples-feet/

Why? –12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? –13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. –14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

Disciples’ question –Luke 22:24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. –25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. –26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

–27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. Disciples’ Wrong Picture of Leadership –Matthew 20: 25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
6
–26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; –27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: –28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
