Marcos 10:44

44 y el que quiera ser el primero entre ustedes deberá ser esclavo de los demás.

Marcos 10:44 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:44

And whosoever of you will be the chiefest
Is desirous of the highest place and the greatest honour

shall be servant of all:
for the ministers of the Gospel are not only the servants of Christ Jesus, but also of the churches for his sake; and in serving them, they serve Christ: not that they are to be the servants of men and to take their instructions from them and act according to rules prescribed by them; or seek to please men for then they would not be the servants of Christ: but they become servants to all that they may win souls to Christ, and increase his churches, and enlarge his interest; and such as are most useful this way are the chiefest in the Gospel church state; they are honoured by Christ and esteemed by his people; (See Gill on Matthew 20:27).

Marcos 10:44 In-Context

42 Así que Jesús los reunió a todos y les dijo:

43 Pero entre ustedes será diferente. El que quiera ser líder entre ustedes deberá ser sirviente,

44 y el que quiera ser el primero entre ustedes deberá ser esclavo de los demás.

45 Pues ni aun el Hijo del Hombre vino para que le sirvan, sino para servir a otros y para dar su vida en rescate por muchos».

46 Jesús sana al ciego Bartimeo
Después llegaron a Jericó y mientras Jesús y sus discípulos salían de la ciudad, una gran multitud los siguió. Un mendigo ciego llamado Bartimeo (hijo de Timeo) estaba sentado junto al camino.
