MATTHEW 20:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:”
And whoever would be first among you must be your slave. The slave — the lowest possible social position — is the position that the one who wants to be first must occupy. The escalation from servant (verse 26) to slave (verse 27) communicates the totality of the reversal: the kingdom's hierarchy is the complete inversion of the world's hierarchy.
