To give his life as a ransom

20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

To serve. Not to be served.

20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

To bring a sword to the earth. Not bring peace to the earth.

10:34 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

To fulfill the Law. Not to abolish the Law or the Prophets.

5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
