43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
43 But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,
43 It's not going to be that way with you. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant.
43 Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.
43 But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant,
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 10:43
Commentary on Mark 10:32-45
(Read Mark 10:32-45)
Christ's going on with his undertaking for the salvation of mankind, was, is, and will be, the wonder of all his disciples. Worldly honour is a glittering thing, with which the eyes of Christ's own disciples have many times been dazzled. Our care must be, that we may have wisdom and grace to know how to suffer with him; and we may trust him to provide what the degrees of our glory shall be. Christ shows them that dominion was generally abused in the world. If Jesus would gratify all our desires, it would soon appear that we desire fame or authority, and are unwilling to taste of his cup, or to have his baptism; and should often be ruined by having our prayers answered. But he loves us, and will only give his people what is good for them.
