Luke 22:25  KJV  "And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them;  and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors."

Interpretation based on the following study:  The Son moreover shew forth to teach us about His Kingdom, sphere of His rulership and heart obedience to belong to Him.  He made known the Way and Law, confirming His Rule in His people who belong to Him.  He alone indeed has the Strength, Right and Capacity to Bestow His Benefits and Blessings upon us.  Calling us by name to partake in His Blessing of Salvation and Redemption.
