Luke 9:46

Concerning the Greatest

9:46 Now an argument started among the disciples as to which of them might be the greatest.

Luke 22:24

22:24 A dispute also started among them over which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.


tn Grk “among them”; the referent (the disciples) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

tn The use of the optative mood means the answer is not clear (BDF §§267.2.3; 385.2.2).

tn Or “happened.”

tn Though the term μείζων (meizwn) here is comparative in form, it is superlative in sense (BDF §244).
