Marcos 10:44

44 e quem quiser ser o primeiro deverá ser escravo de todos.

Marcos 10:44 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:44

And whosoever of you will be the chiefest
Is desirous of the highest place and the greatest honour

shall be servant of all:
for the ministers of the Gospel are not only the servants of Christ Jesus, but also of the churches for his sake; and in serving them, they serve Christ: not that they are to be the servants of men and to take their instructions from them and act according to rules prescribed by them; or seek to please men for then they would not be the servants of Christ: but they become servants to all that they may win souls to Christ, and increase his churches, and enlarge his interest; and such as are most useful this way are the chiefest in the Gospel church state; they are honoured by Christ and esteemed by his people; (See Gill on Matthew 20:27).

Marcos 10:44 In-Context

42 Jesus os chamou e disse: “Vocês sabem que aqueles que são considerados governantes das nações as dominam, e as pessoas importantes exercem poder sobre elas.
43 Não será assim entre vocês. Ao contrário, quem quiser tornar-se importante entre vocês deverá ser servo;
44 e quem quiser ser o primeiro deverá ser escravo de todos.
45 Pois nem mesmo o Filho do homem veio para ser servido, mas para servir e dar a sua vida em resgate por muitos”.
46 Então chegaram a Jericó. Quando Jesus e seus discípulos, juntamente com uma grande multidão, estavam saindo da cidade, o filho de Timeu, Bartimeu, que era cego, estava sentado à beira do caminho pedindo esmolas.
