Exegesis
The verse begins with the negated adverbial phrase ouch houtos {οὐχ οὕτως | ouch hoútōs} ‘not thus,’ which looks back to the pattern of Gentile lordship and overturns it for the disciples.
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 .
