Translation
For who [is] greater, the one reclining or the one serving? [Is] it not the one reclining? But I am in your midst as the one serving.
Paraphrase
Which one is considered greater, the one sitting at the table, or the one serving the one at the table? Obviously, the one sitting at the table is considered greater by our culture. But I am giving you an example of a different type of leadership by coming to you as the one who serves.
