27: For which is greater, he that sitteth at table or he that
serveth? Is not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you,
as he that serveth.
He that sitteth at meat. The master of the feast, or one of his
guests.
But I am among you, &c. This was said in connection with his washing their feet. He showed them how they ought to feel and act toward each other. They ought, therefore, not to aim at office and power, but to be humble, and serve and aid one another.
