In both, in the character of the rule as bein 7 O a service to those who are ruled, and as representing our Lord Himself, the application makes itself felt. The superior was to exercise not a domination which had become the mark of Gentile kings, but a service for the good of the governed such as Christ in all His ministry had shown. The words recorded by St. Luke bring back those recorded by St. John, which our Lord had uttered just before : " Know you what I have done to you ? You call me Mas...ter and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If then I, being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so you do also. " If this had been all which St. Luke had recorded, the existence of a Superior in the Church after the pattern of Christ Himself might have been inferred as to come. But our Lord then proceeds to speak positively of a kingdom which He was setting up, and of the place in it which the Apostles should hold : " And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations ; and I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom ; that you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom, and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
