The Disciples Argue About Greatness
24 Mark 9:34; Luke 9:46–48Now there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered the greatest. 25 (Matt. 20:25–28); Mark 10:42–45And He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’26 Matt. 20:26; (1 Pet. 5:3)But not so among you; on the contrary, Luke 9:48he who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves.27 (Luke 12:37)For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet Matt. 20:28; John 13:13, 14; Phil. 2:7I am among you as the One who serves.
