But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

b Then shall the King say unto them Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς προσκαλεσάμενος αὐτοὺς, on his right hand, Come, ye blessed | εἶπεν· Οἴδατε ὅτι οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἐθνῶν και of my Father, inherit the kingdom | τακυριεύουσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ μεγάλοι και prepared for you from the foundation | τεξουσιάζουσιν αὐτῶν. of the world, Matt. xxv. 34.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him, 1 Cor. ii. 9.

And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest, Luke xxii. 23, 24. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 1 Cor. xiii. 4. Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves, Phil. ii. 3. From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Jam iv. 1.

Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with hu

called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them, Mark x. 42. 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. 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, Luke xxii. 26, 27. So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Master, and Lord; and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet: ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them, John xiii. 12-17.

But it shall not be so among you: | to the pulling down of strong holds ;) but whosoever will be great among you, Casting down imaginations, and every let him be your minister; high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? if any man trusts to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's. For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed: That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters. For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible, x. 4-10. Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock, 1 Pet. v. 3. I

But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call no man | your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted, Matt. xxiii. 8-12. But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you shall be your minister: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest shall be servant of all. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many, Mark x. 43-45. And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; say-wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, ing unto them, When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted, Luke xiv. 7-11. I tell you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted, xviii. 14. Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence, John xviii. 36. Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand, 2 Cor. i. 24. (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God VOL. I.

who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, receiveth us not. Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church, 3 John 9, 10. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exorciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, That they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he caused 2 B
