New American Bible (Revised Edition)
25 [a](A)He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them and those in authority over them are addressed as ‘Benefactors’; 26 but among you it shall not be so. Rather, let the greatest among you be as the youngest, and the leader as the servant.(B) 27 For who is greater: the one seated at table or the one who serves? Is it not the one seated at table? I am among you as the one who serves.

Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.(C)

King James Version
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.
