This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John - or “were moved with indignation,” as the same word is rendered in Mat 20:24. The expression “began to be,” which is of frequent occurrence in the Gospels, means that more passed than is expressed, and that we have but the result. And can we blame the ten for the indignation which they felt? Yet there was probably a spice of the old spirit of rivalry in it, which in spite of our Lord’s recent lengthened, diversified, and most solemn warnings against it, had not ceased to stir in their breasts.
