What Does Mark 10:41 Mean?
Word of the brothers' request gets out, and the ten begin to be much displeased, the same indignation word used of Jesus when the children were turned away, only now soured into rivalry among brethren.
Their anger looks like offended principle, but it has the scent of wounded ambition; each may have wanted the seats first. Resentment at another's grasping often reveals our own. The quarrel sets the stage for the greatest sentence on greatness ever spoken.
