LUKE 22:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.”
Jesus said to them, the kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors — the Gentile model: the kings who lord it over (kurieousin, exercise lordship) their people. Those who exercise authority call themselves Benefactors (Euergetai): the honorific title that Hellenistic rulers claimed while exercising power over their subjects.
