26 But not so with you. Rather, the one who is greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.
But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.
27 For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Is not it he who sits at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines? But I am among you as one who serves.

Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on Me. But this hour belongs to you and to the power of darkness.”

About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”
60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
“Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. While he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
61 The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord’s word, how he said to him, “Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times.”
