Jamieson-Faussett Brown:
For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give his life a ransom for many--"instead of many,"
that is, "In the kingdom about to be set up, this principle shall have
no place. All My servants shall there be equal; and the only greatness
known to it shall be the greatness of humility and devotedness to the
service of others. He that goes down the deepest in these services of
self-denying humility shall rise the highest and hold the chiefest place
in that kingdom; even as the Son of man, whose abasement and
self-sacrifice for others, transcending all, gives Him of right a place
above all!" As "the Word in the beginning with God," He was ministered
unto; and as the risen Redeemer in our nature He now is ministered unto,
"angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto Him" (1Pe
3:22); but not for this came He hither. The Served of all came to be the
Servant of all; and His last act was the grandest Service ever beheld by
the universe of God--"HE GAVE HIS LIFE A RANSOM FOR MANY!", &c. Many" is
here to be taken, not in contrast with few or with all, but in
opposition to one--the one Son of man for the many sinners.

Spurgeon Commentary:
He gave up all and took the lowest service for our sakes; thus teaching
his followers not to look for honor or service from their fellow
Christians, but to stand ready to be the servants of all. Lord, teach us
to serve, and save us from the pride which would expect others to pay us
homage.

The Fourfold Gospel:
For the Son of man also came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. He enforces this
lesson by his own example in that he came to serve men and not to have
them serve him. Jesus could ever refer to himself as the best example of
the virtues which he taught. Since honor consists in being like the
King, the highest honor consists in being most like him. The closing
words state the vicarious nature of Christ's suffering as plainly as
language can express it. The ransom is offered for all (1Ti 2:6), and
will be efficacious for as many as accept it. The words are nearly a
reproduction of the words of Isaiah (Isa 53:12).
