UTN uW Translation Notes:

ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐχ οὕτως

you_all but not thus

Alternate translation: “But you should not act like that”

ὁ μείζων ἐν ὑμῖν, γενέσθω ὡς ὁ νεώτερος

the greater among you_all the the_‹one› the_‹one› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐχ οὕτως ἀλλʼ ὁ μείζων ἐν ὑμῖν γινέσθω ὡς ὁ νεώτερος καὶ ὁ ἡγούμενος ὡς ὁ διακονῶν)

As the last note to 22:24 discusses, your language might naturally use the superlative form of these adjectives rather than the comparative form. Alternate translation: “let the greatest one among you become like the youngest one”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ὁ μείζων & ὁ νεώτερος

the greater & the younger

Jesus is using the adjectives greater and younger as nouns to describe types of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these with equivalent expressions. Alternate translation: “the greatest one … the youngest one”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὁ νεώτερος

the the younger

This culture respected older people and followed them as leaders. Jesus is referring to a person who was less important and influential by association with the fact that this would be the case if they were younger. Alternate translation: “the least important one”

ὁ διακονῶν

the the the_‹one› the_‹one› serving

Alternate translation: “a servant”
