John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 20:20

Verse 20 Matthew 20:20.Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children. This narrative contains a bright mirror of human vanity; for it shows that proper and holy zeal is often accompanied by ambition, or some other vice of the flesh, so that they who follow Christ have a different object in view from what they ought to have. They who are not satisfied with himself alone, but seek this or the other thing apart from him and his promises, wander egregiously from the right path. Nor is it enough... read more

Predictions of the Passion. I. JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM . 1 . The Lord . He was going up now for the last time to the holy city. His work in Galilee, in Peraea, was over; it seemed to have ended in disappointment, His popularity was not what it had been; his enemies had to a large extent succeeded (or seemed to have succeeded) in undermining his influence. He was "a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief." A few days of thankless labour awaited him at Jerusalem, and then the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 20:17-19

Prophetic anticipations. The roads are now crowded with people journeying to Jerusalem to celebrate there the great annual Feast of the Passover (see Deuteronomy 16:1-7 ). Jesus separated his disciples from the crowd, probably by retiring into some sylvan shade to rest, that he might discourse to them privately of his approaching Passion. His discourse evinces— I. A DIVINE FOREKNOWLEDGE . 1 . It anticipated his betrayal . 2 . It anticipated the malignity of the rulers .... read more

The Gentiles. Pilate and the Romans ( Matthew 27:2 ). This fact would show the treatment he was to expect, and the death he was to die. To mock, and to scourge (see Matthew 27:26 , Matthew 27:28-30 ). To crucify. This is the first time that Jesus distinctly announced his death by crucifixion. The fact of his death he had impressed upon his apostles, but the mode had. not been mentioned; such an unexpected, awful, and ignomiuious close was incredible. and needed special preparation... read more

Then . The incident seems to have arisen from the promise of the twelve thrones in Matthew 19:28 , and is significant as showing how utterly misunderstood was the true nature of the Messianic kingdom. The mother of Zebedee's children. The mother of James and John was named Salome; she had left her husband Zebedee ( Mark 1:20 ) in Galilee (unless, as is more probable from the terms in which she is introduced, he was now dead), and followed Jesus in the band of holy women who attended on... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 20:20

Motherly ambition. It is certainly surprising to find James and John presenting such a request as this. We cannot but think that they ought to have known their Lord better. If any of the apostolic company had insight of their Master's spiritual mission, it surely was the first group, which included James and John. Perhaps Matthew lets the light in when he explains that they were prompted by their mother. "Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons worshipping him, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 20:20-23

A mother's ambition. In St. Mark we are only told that the two sons of Zebedee came, asking for the first places in the kingdom. St. Matthew's account shows that the request originated with their mother. It is natural that a mother should dream of a great future for her children. The mother's ambition is an inspiration for her training of them. In the present instance it seemed to overstep the bounds of modesty. Yet when we consider all the circumstances, we shall see that there was... read more
