20:27 The word slave is a common metaphor for the submissive relationship of a disciple to his master (8:9; 10:24-25; 24:45-51; 25:14-30). Jesus’ disciples serve others, following Jesus’ example (e.g., John 13:1-17).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
πρῶτος
first
Here, Jesus is speaking of being important or respected as if it were being first. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated this word in 19:30. Alternate translation: “respected” or “significant”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative
ἔσται
˱he˲_will_be
Jesus is using the future form to give a command. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea using a form that expresses a command or obligation. Alternate translation: “should be” or “has to be”
