Marc 10:43

43 Il n'en est pas de même au milieu de vous. Mais quiconque veut être grand parmi vous, qu'il soit votre serviteur;

Marc 10:43 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:43

But so shall it not be among you
Or "so let it not be", as in many copies; or as the Persic version renders it, "it ought not to be so among you"; such a lordly spirit does not become you; this is heathenish:

but whosoever will be great among you shall be,
as in Matthew "let him", ( Matthew 20:26 ) , be

your minister.
This was just the reverse of what the two disciples were seeking for; they were indeed for being ministers but then they were for being prime ministers of state; and would have had all the rest subject to them and attendants on them to be sent out and employed as they should think fit: whereas the only way to preferment and greatness in Christ's kingdom, or rather Gospel church state, is to labour, in the work, of the ministry more abundantly than others; to take great pains and endure great hardships in order to bring great glory to God, and do great good to the souls of men; (See Gill on Matthew 20:26).

42 Jésus les appela, et leur dit: Vous savez que ceux qu'on regarde comme les chefs des nations les tyrannisent, et que les grands les dominent.

44 et quiconque veut être le premier parmi vous, qu'il soit l'esclave de tous.

45 Car le Fils de l'homme est venu, non pour être servi, mais pour servir et donner sa vie comme la rançon de plusieurs.
