Mateo 20:27

27 y el que quiera ser el primero entre ustedes deberá convertirse en esclavo.

Mateo 20:27 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 20:27

And whosoever will be chief among you
Or first, or have the pre-eminence, the first place in the kingdom of the Messiah,

let him be your servant;
or, as in Mark, shall be servant of
all:
not only a minister, but a servant; not a servant of some only, but of all. This was verified in the Apostle Paul, who became a servant to all men, though he was free, that he might gain some to Christ; and by so doing was the chief, though he reckoned himself the least of the apostles, yea, less than the least of all saints. The Jews have a saying somewhat like this, that ^F8

``everyone that makes himself (dbek) , as a servant, for the words of the law in this world, shall be made free in the world to come.''

Mateo 20:27 In-Context

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

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

27 y el que quiera ser el primero entre ustedes deberá convertirse en esclavo.

28 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».

29 Jesús sana a dos hombres ciegos
Mientras Jesús y sus discípulos salían de la ciudad de Jericó, una gran multitud los seguía.
