Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 22:26
But ye shall not be so: but he that is greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.This is the prohibition of such tiers of rank and authority as those in vogue among earthly governments. "Ye shall not be so!" read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 22:25-26
Luke 22:25-26. The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship, &c.— "Among the Gentiles, they are reckoned the greatest men who have the greatest power, and who exercise it in the most absolute manner. Such, however, have at times affected the pompous title of Benefactors, Ευεργετης, (a surname, which some of the kings of Egypt and of Syria assumed) and thereby have tacitly acknowledged that true greatness consists in goodness. But your greatness shall not be like theirs, shall not consist in... read more

C. Events in the upper room 22:14-38Luke included more information about what Jesus said and did on this occasion than Matthew or Mark did. John’s account is the fullest of all (John 13-17). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 22:24-27
The disciples’ concern for their greatness 22:24-27Following Jesus’ announcement of His self-sacrifice and the announcement of His betrayal, the disciples’ argument over who of them was the greatest appears thoroughly inappropriate (cf. Matthew 20:17-28; Mark 10:32-45). Jesus used the situation as an opportunity to teach them the importance of humility again (cf. Luke 9:46-48). Luke’s recording of the lesson again illustrates its vital importance for all disciples. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 22:26
Typically the younger serve the elder, and the servants serve the leaders. The aged enjoyed great veneration in the ancient Near East. However with disciples all must serve regardless of age or responsibility (cf. Acts 5:6; 1 Timothy 5:1; Titus 2:6; 1 Peter 5:5). Luke’s selection of terminology ("is greatest," "youngest," "leader," and "servant," lit. deacon) in this pericope suggests that he may have had church leaders especially in mind.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 22:24-38
149. Disciples’ failure foretold (Matthew 26:31-35; Mark 14:27-31; Luke 22:24-38; John 13:36-38)Despite all that Jesus had shown and taught his disciples about humility, and in spite of the death he was about to die for them, they were still arguing about who was the greatest among them. Jesus reminded them again of the different standards in the earthly and heavenly kingdoms. He had given them an example in the way he lived among them, showing that true greatness lay in serving others (Luke... read more
