Here are the APPROACHES to the argument:

I. We See The Strife. v.24

If the best are fighting…? v.24a

24 And there was also a strife among them,

What are they fighting about? v.24b

which of them should be accounted the greatest.

II. We See The Solution. vs.25-26

False solutions. v.25

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.

“benefactor” - He who confers a benefit, especially one who makes charitable contributions either for public institutions or for private use.

Faithful solutions. v.26

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.

III. We See The Servant. vs.27-30

The point of service. v.27

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.

The pinnacle of service. vs.28-30

28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
