Contextual Overview

³⁰ Then Jesus and his followers left that place and went through Galilee. He didn't want anyone to know where he was, ³¹ because he was teaching his followers. He said to them, "The Son of Man will be handed over to people, and they will kill him. After three days, he will rise from the dead." ³² But the followers did not understand what Jesus meant, and they were afraid to ask him. ³³ Jesus and his followers went to Capernaum. When they went into a house there, he asked them, "What were you arguing about on the road?" ³⁴ But the followers did not answer, because their argument on the road was about which one of them was the greatest. ³⁵ Jesus sat down and called the twelve apostles to him. He said, "Whoever wants to be the most important must be last of all and servant of all." ³⁶ Then Jesus took a small child and had him stand among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said, ³⁷ "Whoever accepts a child like this in my name accepts me. And whoever accepts me accepts the One who sent me." ³⁸ Then John said, "Teacher, we saw someone using your name to force demons out of a person. We told him to stop, because he does not belong to our group." ³⁹ But Jesus said, "Don't stop him, because anyone who uses my name to do powerful things will not easily say evil things about me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But they held their peace,.... Fearing a reprimand, for their vanity and affectation of worldly grandeur:

for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who [should be] the greatest; that is, who should be advanced to the highest post, and have the greatest place of authority, honour, and dignity, in the temporal kingdom of the Messiah, they expected would be in a little time set up; for notwithstanding what Christ had said to them, concerning his being given up to the power of men, and concerning his death and resurrection, they still retained their former principle, to which they knew not how to reconcile his dying; and therefore chose rather to leave his meaning in suspense, and remain ignorant about it, than quit so darling a notion: and doubtless this dispute was occasioned by what Christ had said to them; who afterwards, getting by themselves, talked about it, which led on to a warm contest, about precedence in his kingdom.
