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。 我很想替有困难的人安排一切，却还没问过他的意愿。服事关注人的益处，也尊重人的选择。帮助的方式需要由真实需要来修正。 今天的一小步：先问对方目前最需要什么、哪些事希望自己处理。 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 want to arrange everything for someone in difficulty before asking what they want. Service seeks another's good while respecting choice. Actual needs should shape the form of help. A small step today: Ask what help is most needed and what the person prefers to handle themselves. Do not rush to solve the whole situation. Notice your body, surroundings, and inner voice, and bring your present need before God.

天父，我很想替有困难的人安排一切，却还没问过他的意愿。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 want to arrange everything for someone in difficulty before asking what they want. Help me slow down and see this moment honestly without rushing to a verdict about myself. In Jesus' name, amen.
