Mark 10:45

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom ¹  for many.”

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

For even I, the Son of Man, came here not to be served but to serve others, and to give my life as a ransom for many."

That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not to be served--and then to give away his life in exchange for many who are held hostage."

For truly the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.

For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many."

"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

For even 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 Matt 20:28 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 humanity’s place as a substitute, enduring the judgment that was deserved for sin.
