It seems to be even different than that. Jesus is not noting between types of authority. Jesus is saying NOT TO SEEK AUTHORITY. Instead, if one wishes to be great let him/her think about serving/ministering (diakonos). And if one want to be the greatest or first let him/her be a a freely committed life indentured slave (duolos). We are not to be thinking of being served as in one who commands others but rather our lives should be centered on presenting our bodies as living sacrifices doing the works of God for God’s purposes. -TL

Precisely!

And since I realized this, I realized who is “wearing the pants” in most of the churches. Who is in the kitchen serving? Who is minding the nursery? Who is wrapping a towel around her waist and taking the position of the lowest slave to wash the feet of the saints?

Unfortunately, wives across the land have usurped their husband’s authority!
