This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Mat 20:20. Τότε, then) at a most inappropriate time.[886]-προσκυνοῦσα, worshipping) Him. From the adoration and discourse of this woman, it is evident that she entertained a high idea of our Lord’s majesty, but possessed very little knowledge.-τὶ, something) She asked for something, indefinitely, as they do who knew that a refusal would not be unjust; see 1Ki 2:20.

[886] Ἡ μήτηρ) This thought seems to have entered the mind of the anxious mother altogether sooner than it did that of her sons: and even in her very supplication she acted the part of an intermediate agent or intercessor.-Harm., p. 433.
