Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. |
“Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. |
“Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than that master; neither one who is sent greater than the one who sent him. |
I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. |
I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, A servant is not greater than his master, and no one who is sent is superior to the one who sent him. |
Most assuredly, I am saying to you, A slave is not greater than his master, nor even one who is sent on a mission greater than the one who sent him. |
Believe Me, the servant is not greater than his master and the messenger is not greater than the man who sent him. |
I most solemnly say to you, no slave is superior to his master, and no messenger is greater than the man who sends him. |
