Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 9:46
And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was the greatest. But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a child, and set him by his side, and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same is great.WHO IS THE GREATEST?This dispute about who was the greatest took place somewhere between the uplands of Caesarea Philippi where Peter... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 9:46
Luke 9:46. Then there arose a reasoning— Διαλογισμος, a debate, or dispute. As this dispute happened immediately after Jesus foretold his own sufferings and resurrection, some imagine that by his sufferings the disciples understood certain great difficulties which their Master was to meet with before the establishment of his kingdom; and by his resurrection from the dead, his surmounting those difficulties: however, the circumstances mentioned by St. Mat 17:23 that the prediction made them... read more

G. Jesus’ preparation of the Twelve 9:1-50In this last major section describing Jesus’ ministry in and around Galilee (Luke 4:14 to Luke 9:50), Luke stressed Jesus’ preparation of His disciples for the opposition that lay before them. This was the climax of Jesus’ ministry in Galilee, and these events formed a bridge to Luke’s unique major section on Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51 to Luke 19:10).Previously Luke recorded Jesus teaching and authenticating His teaching with miracles mainly... read more

IV. JESUS’ MINISTRY IN AND AROUND GALILEE 4:14-9:50Luke commenced his account of Jesus’ public ministry with His return to Galilee following His temptation. This section of his Gospel ends with Jesus’ decision to leave Galilee for Jerusalem and the Cross (Luke 9:51). Luke did not give as much information about Jesus’ Galilean ministry as the other synoptic writers did (cf. Matthew 4:12 to Matthew 16:12; Mark 1:14 to Mark 8:26). He chose, rather, to emphasize Jesus’ ministry as He traveled from... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:46-48
The glorification of self 9:46-48 (cf. Matthew 18:1-5; Mark 9:33-37)Again Luke omitted several historical details and thereby focused the reader’s attention on the essential issues and the contrast with the previous pericope. Since the disciples did not understand Jesus’ role as the Suffering Servant, they could not see its implications for them as His disciples. read more

8. The pride of the disciples 9:46-50In contrast to the humble attitude of Jesus demonstrated in His willingness to submit to betrayal and death in God’s will, the disciples manifested pride. They had their own ideas about the coming kingdom, and they wanted to secure their own futures in it. This spirit of self-seeking was also obvious after Jesus made His first revelation of His death (Mark 8:32-33). Now the disciples showed a desire first for position and then prestige in the kingdom. Their... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 9:44-50
78. Lessons in humility (Matthew 17:22-23; Matthew 18:1-14; Mark 9:30-50; Luke 9:44-50)Despite Jesus’ statement to his disciples that he was heading towards humiliating suffering and death (Matthew 17:22-23; Mark 9:30-32; Luke 9:44-45), they were arguing among themselves about who would have the important places in his kingdom. Jesus rebuked them, explaining that the way to spiritual greatness is through choosing the lowest place and serving others. To enter the kingdom of God, people must... read more
