Matthew 20:28

Context
20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom 1  for many.”

1 sn The Greek word for ransom (λύτρον, lutron) is found here and in Mark 10:45 and refers to the payment of a price in order to purchase the freedom of a slave. The idea of Jesus as the “ransom” is that he paid the price with his own life by standing in our place as a substitute, enduring the judgment that we deserved for sin.
