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 “Ouçam atentamente o que vou dizer: O Filho do homem será traído e entregue nas mãos dos homens”.
45 Mas eles nĂŁo entendiam o que isso significava; era-lhes encoberto, para que nĂŁo o entendessem. E tinham receio de perguntar-lhe a respeito dessa palavra.
46 Começou uma discussão entre os discípulos acerca de qual deles seria o maior.
47 Jesus, conhecendo os seus pensamentos, tomou uma criança e a colocou em pé, a seu lado.
48 Então lhes disse: “Quem recebe esta criança em meu nome está me recebendo; e quem me recebe está recebendo aquele que me enviou. Pois aquele que entre vocês for o menor, este será o maior”.
