Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 22:27:

  • Noongar: “Who is the greatest? The person sitting eating? Or the person giving him his food? Truly, the one sitting. But I sit among you like a person working for you.” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
  • Uma: “I ask you first: who is of highest rank? The one who sits eating, or the one who serves? Certainly the person who sits. But here am I in the midst of you like a person who serves you.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Who is greater, the one sitting down and eating or the one serving him? Is it not the one sitting and eating? But I am here with you like a servant.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Now for example, who is the greatest? Is it the one who sits down to eat, or is it the servant who serves him? Well certainly the one who is greatest is the one who sits down; but in spite of that, I your master, I am like a person who serves you.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Who perhaps is the higher, the one who sits to eat or the one who serves him? The one who is served who eats, is it not so? But here I am serving you like a servant.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “For who is more important, the one sitting at the eating-place or the waiter? Isn’t it so that it’s the one being served? But I who am your Lord am here among you like your servant.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • German New Testament translation by Berger / Nord (publ. 1999): “You can see that clearly: He who serves at the table stands, and he who lets himself be served lies down. Is the one who lies down greater? I am among you as your servant.”
