The Servant of the Lord

^37 (A)Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.

^27 (A)For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet ^(B)I am among you as the One who serves.

^13 (A)You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. ^14 (B)If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, ^(C)you also ought to wash one another’s feet. ¹⁵ For ^(D)I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. ^16 (E)Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^(A)that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become ^(B)rich.

^7 (A)but ^[a]made Himself of no reputation, taking the form ^(B)of a bondservant, and ^(C)coming in the likeness of men.
