Luke 22:27

Context
22:27 For who is greater, the one who is seated at the table, 1  or the one who serves? Is it not 2  the one who is seated at the table? But I am among you as one 3  who serves.

1 tn Grk “who reclines at table,” as 1st century middle eastern meals were not eaten while sitting at a table, but while reclining on one’s side on the floor with the head closest to the low table and the feet farthest away.

2 tn The interrogative particle used here in the Greek text (οὐχί, ouci) expects a positive reply.

3 sn Jesus’ example of humble service, as one who serves, shows that the standard for a disciple is different from that of the world. For an example see John 13:1-17.
