OET (OET-RV) Because who is greater: the one on the couch or the one who’s serving? Isn’t it the one on the couch? But among all of you, I’m like the one serving
OET-LV For/Because who is greater, the one reclining or the one serving?
Not the one reclining?
But in the_midst of_you_all I am as the one serving.

22:27 For I am among you as one who serves: Jesus defined true leadership as service—meeting the needs of others and empowering them to be all that God has called them to be (see Mark 10:45). This statement was striking in a culture for which status and power were central.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γὰρ
for
Jesus uses the word For to introduce a reason why his disciples should do what he told them in the previous verse. The reason is that he is already setting a personal example of this himself. Alternate translation: “After all”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τίς & μείζων, ὁ ἀνακείμενος ἢ ὁ διακονῶν?
who_‹is› & greater the_‹one› reclining or the_‹one› serving
Jesus is using the question form to teach his disciples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: “I want you to think about who is greater, the person who is dining, or the who is serving the food.”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
ὁ ἀνακείμενος
the_‹one› reclining
See how you translated this phrase in 5:29. It was the custom in this culture for dinner guests to eat while lying comfortably around the table on banqueting couches. Alternate translation: “the person who is dining”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
οὐχὶ ὁ ἀνακείμενος?
not the_‹one› reclining
Jesus is using a further question to teach his disciples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: “You must agree that it is the person who is dining.”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐγὼ δὲ ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν εἰμι ὡς ὁ διακονῶν
I but in /the/_midst ˱of˲_you_all am as the_‹one› serving
Jesus is likely referring to the example that he has set at this meal. This would include serving the bread to the disciples, which Luke describes in 22:19. John 13:4–5 also records that before this meal, Jesus washed the disciples feet, which a household servant would ordinarily have done. Alternate translation: “But I have been acting like a servant here at this meal with you”
