...discussed. Thanks.? I remember a passage where Jesus talks about who is the "greatest" apostle and says that that person is the one who does the greatest service for others and puts himself last. I'm wondering if anyone can locate that for me, thanks!
 
Luke 9:46-48

Who Is the Greatest?

46 Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest. 47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a little child and set him by Him, 48 and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all will be great.”
 
Matthew 23:11 maybe?
But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

or

When Jesus says in Matthew 11:11:

In truth I tell you, of all the children born to women, there has never been anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet the least in the kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
 
Mark 9:34-35
(34) But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
(35) And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
