KJV ORIGINAL
For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
I'm someone who takes orders from higher-ups, and I also give orders to the people under me. When I tell a soldier 'go,' he goes. When I say 'come here,' he comes. When I tell my servant 'do this,' he does it.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Real authority works both ways — you respect the chain of command above you and below you.
