Luke 22:24

Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition

The apostles got into an argument about which one of them was the greatest.

See the chapter Copy

Jesus' disciples were arguing about which one of them was the greatest.

They had been arguing about which one of them was the greatest, and so they did not answer.

Love is patient and kind, never jealous, boastful, proud, or

Love each other as brothers and sisters and honor others more than you do yourself.

About this time the disciples came to Jesus and asked him who would be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Then the apostles started arguing about who would ever do such a thing.
