This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
46. διαλογισμός. ‘A dispute.’
τό. The article is inapposition to the whole question. Comp. Mar 9:43.
τίς ἂν εἴη μείζων αὐτῶν. ‘Who of them should be the greatest’ (comp. Luk 9:48) not as Weiss takes it, ‘Who should be greater than they.’ Their jealous ambition had been kindled partly by false Messianic hopes, partly perhaps by the recent distinction bestowed on Peter, James, and John. Observe how little Christ’s words to Peter had been understood to confer on him any special preeminence! This unseemly dispute was again stirred up at the Last Supper, Luk 22:24-26. Godet sees in Mat 18:15-22 an indication that very bitter feelings had arisen on this occasion.
