Lucas 9:46 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:46

Then there arose a reasoning among them
The Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions read, "a thought entered into them"; suggested very likely by Satan, which broke out into words, and issued in a warm dispute among them; and this was in the way, as they were travelling from Caesarea Philippi, to Capernaum; see ( Mark 9:33 ) .

Which of them should be greatest;
that is, "in the kingdom of heaven", as in ( Matthew 18:1 ) in the kingdom of the Messiah, which they expected would be a temporal one: wherefore the dispute was not about degrees in glory, nor in grace; nor who should be the greatest apostle and preacher of the Gospel; but who should be prime minister to the king Messiah, when he should set up his monarchy in all its grandeur and glory.

Lucas 9:46 In-Context

44 Haced que estas palabras penetren en vuestros oídos, porque el Hijo del Hombre va a ser entregado en manos de los hombres.
45 Pero ellos no entendían estas palabras, y les estaban veladas para que no las comprendieran; y temían preguntarle acerca de ellas.
46 Y se suscitó una discusión entre ellos, sobre quién de ellos sería el mayor.
47 Entonces Jesús, sabiendo lo que pensaban en sus corazones, tomó a un niño y lo puso a su lado,
48 y les dijo: El que reciba a este niño en mi nombre, a mí me recibe; y el que me recibe a mí, recibe a aquel que me envió; porque el que es más pequeño entre todos vosotros, ése es grande.
