LUKE 22:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
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 — the rhetorical question: the one at the table is greater by every social evaluation. But I am among you as the one who serves (ho diakonōn): Jesus identifies himself with the serving position, not the honored-guest position. The incarnation is the Lord at the table who serves.
