Exegesis
The concluding main clause estai hymon diakonos {ἔσται ὑμῶν διάκονος | éstai hymôn diákonos} uses a future copula with a predicate nominative to state the required role, ‘will be your servant.’ The genitive hymon marks those to whom the service is rendered, stressing relational orientation. The repetition of en hymin / hymon encloses the saying with communal focus, indicating that the redefined greatness operates inside the disciple community. In translation, the future forms are preserved to keep the sense of authoritative decree, the generic relative clause is rendered with “whoever” / “anyone,” and the term diakonos is kept as “servant” to preserve its theological resonance of service as true greatness.
In context — Matthew 20:26
It will not be this way among you, but whoever desires to become great among you, he shall be your servant .
