| But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest--From Mat 18:1 we should infer that the subject was introduced, not by our Lord, but by the disciples themselves, who came and asked Jesus who should be greatest. Perhaps one or two of them first referred the matter to Jesus, who put them off till they should all be assembled together at Capernaum. He had all the while "perceived the thought of their heart" (Luk 9:47); but now that they were all together "in the house," He questions them about it, and they are put to the blush, conscious of the temper towards each other which it had kindled. This raised the whole question afresh, and at this point our Evangelist takes it up. The subject was suggested by the recent announcement of the Kingdom (Mat 16:19-28), the transfiguration of their Master, and especially the preference given to three of them at that scene. |

19 And [2532] I will give [1325] unto thee [4671] the keys [2807] of the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]: and [2532] whatsoever [3739] [1437] thou shalt bind [1210] on [1909] earth [1093] shall be [2071] bound [1210] in [1722] heaven [3772]: and [2532] whatsoever [3739] [1437] thou shalt loose [3089] on [1909] earth [1093] shall be [2071] loosed [3089] in [1722] heaven [3772].
20 Then [5119] charged he [1291] his [846] disciples [3101] that [2443] they should tell [2036] no man [3367] that [3754] he [846] was [2076] Jesus [2424] the Christ [5547].
21 From [575] that time forth [5119] began [756] Jesus [2424] to shew [1166] unto his [846] disciples [3101], how that [3754] he [846] must [1163] go [565] unto [1519] Jerusalem [2414], and [2532] suffer [3958] many things [4183] of [575] the elders [4245] and [2532] chief priests [749] and [2532] scribes [1122], and [2532] be killed [615], and [2532] be raised again [1453] the third [5154] day [2250].
22 Then [2532] Peter [4074] took [4355] him [846], and began [756] to rebuke [2008] him [846], saying [3004], Be it far [2436] from thee [4671], Lord [2962]: this [5124] shall [2071] not [3364] be [2071] unto thee [4671].
23 But [1161] he turned [4762], and said [2036] unto Peter [4074], Get thee [5217] behind [3694] me [3450], Satan [4567]: thou [1488] art [3754] an offence [4625] unto me [3450]: for thou savourest [5426] not [3756] the things [3588] that be of God [2316], but [235] those that be of men [444].
24 Then [5119] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto his [846] disciples [3101], If any [1536] man will [2309] come [2064] after [3694] me [3450], let him deny [533] himself [1438], and [2532] take up [142] his [846] cross [4716], and [2532] follow [190] me [3427].
25 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] will [2309] save [4982] his [846] life [5590] shall lose [622] it [846]: and [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] will lose [622] his [846] life [5590] for [1752] my [1700] sake [1752] shall find [2147] it [846].
26 For [1063] what [5101] is a man [444] profited [5623], if [1437] he shall gain [2770] the whole [3650] world [2889], and [1161] lose [2210] his own [846] soul [5590]? or [2228] what [5101] shall a man [444] give [1325] in exchange [465] for his [846] soul [5590]?
27 For [1063] the Son [5207] of man [444] shall [3195] come [2064] in [1722] the glory [1391] of his [846] Father [3962] with [3326] his [846] angels [32]; and [2532] then [5119] he shall reward [591] every man [1538] according [2596] to his [846] works [4234].
28 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], There be [1526] some [5100] standing [2476] here [5602], which [3748] shall [1089] not [3364] taste [1089] of death [2288], till [302] [2193] they see [1492] the Son [5207] of man [444] coming [2064] in [1722] his [846] kingdom [932].
47 And [1161] Jesus [2424], perceiving [1492] the thought [1261] of their [846] heart [2588], took [1949] a child [3813], and set [2476] him [846] by [3844] him [1438],
1 At [1722] the same [1565] time [5610] came [4334] the disciples [3101] unto Jesus [2424], saying [3004], Who [5101] [686] is [2076] the greatest [3187] in [1722] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]?
1 At [1722] the same [1565] time [5610] came [4334] the disciples [3101] unto Jesus [2424], saying [3004], Who [5101] [686] is [2076] the greatest [3187] in [1722] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]?
2 And [2532] Jesus [2424] called [4341] a little child [3813] unto him [4341], and set [2476] him [846] in [1722] the midst [3319] of them [846],
3 And [2532] said [2036], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Except [3362] ye be converted [4762], and [2532] become [1096] as [5613] little children [3813], ye shall [1525] not [3364] enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772].
4 Whosoever [3748] therefore [3767] shall humble [5013] himself [1438] as [5613] this [5124] little child [3813], the same [3778] is [2076] greatest [3187] in [1722] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772].
5 And [2532] whoso [3739] [1437] shall receive [1209] one [1520] such [5108] little child [3813] in [1909] my [3450] name [3686] receiveth [1209] me [1691].
