耶稣叫他们来对他们说、你们知道、外邦人有尊为君王的、治理他们．有大臣操权管束他们。 只是在你们中间、不是这样．你们中间、谁愿为大、就必作你们的用人． 在你们中间、谁愿为首、就必作众人的仆人。 因为人子来、并不是要受人的服事、乃是要服事人、并且要舍命、作多人的赎价。
English
But Jesus 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. 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.

马可福音这段对话发生在门徒讨论地位的语境中。耶稣以服事重新解释伟大，也以自己的使命说明这条道路。 我准备去食物银行做义工，愿意认真听见邻舍真实的需要。帮助有需要的人时，也要保护他们的尊严；服务并不赋予我们评判的资格。今天可以从一个小而具体的回应开始：了解食物银行需求，遵守其隐私与服务安排。 回应经文不一定是宏大的决定。一个能在今天完成的小行动，可能比笼统地要求自己改变更诚实。
English
This conversation in Mark concerns the disciples' desire for status. Jesus redefines greatness through service and illustrates the path through his own mission. I am preparing to volunteer at a food bank and want to hear neighbors' real needs. Serving people in need includes protecting dignity. Assistance gives no right to judge. Begin with a small concrete response today: Learn the food bank's needs and respect its privacy practices. Responding to Scripture need not mean a grand decision. One achievable action today may be more honest than a vague promise to change.
