Exegesis
The adjective meizon {μείζων | meízōn} functions substantively, “the one who is greater,” and is modified by the genitive humon {ὑμῶν | hymôn}, a partitive genitive indicating “the greater one from among you.”
The repetition of humon {ὑμῶν | hymôn} after the verb (“will be of you”) underscores that the “greater” person still belongs to the same group and is not above it.
In context — Matthew 23:11
But the one who is greater among you will be your servant .
