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。 我不想假设别人需要什么，愿意先倾听再行动。先听需要再安排服务，能避免把自己的热心放在别人的处境之前。今天可以从一个小而具体的回应开始：询问服务对象最需要什么，再决定怎样帮助。 这一次先不急着解决整件事。留意身体、环境和心里的声音，把此刻真实的需要带到神面前。
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 do not want to assume what others need; I want to listen before acting. Listening before planning service keeps our enthusiasm from eclipsing another person's situation. Begin with a small concrete response today: Ask what is most needed before choosing how to help. Do not rush to solve the whole situation. Notice your body, surroundings, and inner voice, and bring your present need before God.

天父，我不想假设别人需要什么，愿意先倾听再行动。求你帮助我放慢脚步，诚实看见此刻，而不急于给自己下结论。 奉耶稣的名，阿们。

Father, I do not want to assume what others need; I want to listen before acting. Help me slow down and see this moment honestly without rushing to a verdict about myself. In Jesus' name, amen.
