Matthew 20:25-28

25. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
26. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
27. And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
28. Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

This is right after the apostles get envious of James and John because they wanted to sit on the right and left hand of Jesus in the next world. It is also right before Christ enters Jerusalem in triumph.

This is also immediately before Christ's disciples tell some blind beggars that he doesn't have time for them and then Jesus goes and heals them anyway; in my opinion, a good story to follow this statement.
