Matthew 20:26-28 · King James Version
But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
'It shall not be so among you.' Jesus names the way power usually works, and then rules it out for his followers.
