Exegesis
The core assertion is a negative copular clause ouk estin {οὐκ ἔστιν | ouk éstin} ‘is not’, followed by a comparative predicate in which doulos {δοῦλος | doûlos} ‘slave’ is evaluated as meizōn {μείζων | meízōn} ‘greater’ than tou kyriou autou {τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ | toû kyríou autoû} ‘his master’.
In context — John 13:16
Truly, truly, I tell you, a slave is not greater than his master, and a messenger is not greater than the one who sent him.
