Tyndale Open Study Notes (CC BY-SA 4.0).
10:45 Jesus offered his own example to demonstrate what leadership in God’s Kingdom means. • Jesus understands his death as a ransom. A ransom was a payment made to free a slave or captive. • The expression for many is probably an allusion to Isa 53:12, where many means all (cp. Rom 5:15, 18-20). Jesus died as the substitute for all. Later, Jesus would speak of his blood as being poured out for many (Mark 14:24).

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
