Luke 22:24-27  And there arose also a dispute among them as to which one of them was regarded to be greatest. • And He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who have authority over them are called 'Benefactors.' • "But it is not this way with you, but the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant. • "For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves.

Matthew 20:28  just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

John 13:3-5  Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, • got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself. • Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
