Mateo 20:27

Listen to Mateo 20:27
27 y el que quiera ser el primero deberá ser esclavo de los demás;

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 Jesús los llamó y les dijo:—Como ustedes saben, los gobernantes de las naciones oprimen a los súbditos, y los altos oficiales abusan de su autoridad.
26 Pero entre ustedes no debe ser así. Al contrario, el que quiera hacerse grande entre ustedes deberá ser su servidor,
27 y el que quiera ser el primero deberá ser esclavo de los demás;
28 así como el Hijo del hombre no vino para que le sirvan, sino para servir y para dar su vida en rescate por muchos.
29 Una gran multitud seguía a Jesús cuando él salía de Jericó con sus discípulos.
