Poole: Mar 10:42-45 - they which are accounted to rule

Ver. 42-45. See Poole on "Mat 20:25" , and following verses to Mat 20:28 , where we had the same almost verbatim. Those that think it worth the while to inquire what critical men say about that phrase, oi dokountev arcein , which we translate they which are accounted to rule, may find it in Pool’ s Synopsis Criticorum. When all is said, doubtless the oi arcontev in Matthew, and oi dokountev arcein, and Luke’ s oi basileiv , signify the same persons. And our translators might as justifiably have translated those words, the rulers, as

they which are accounted to rule which is a translation the active participle will hardly bear.

Haydock: Mar 10:43

In vain then do men either seek for immoderate power, or sigh after human greatness; for, not power, but humility, is the sure and only path to the summit of perfection. He then proves to them by his own example, that if they would not believe his words, they might at least learn by his example. (Ven. Bede)

Gill: Mar 10:43 - But so shall it not be among you // but whosoever will be great among you shall be // your minister

But so shall it not be among you,.... Or "so let it not be", as in many copies; or as the Persic version renders it, "it ought not to be so among you"; such a lordly spirit does not become you; this is heathenish:

but whosoever will be great among you shall be, as in Matthew "let him", Mat 20:26, be

your minister. This was just the reverse of what the two disciples were seeking for; they were indeed for being ministers but then they were for being prime ministers of state; and would have had all the rest subject to them and attendants on them to be sent out and employed as they should think fit: whereas the only way to preferment and greatness in Christ's kingdom, or rather Gospel church state, is to labour, in the work, of the ministry more abundantly than others; to take great pains and endure great hardships in order to bring great glory to God, and do great good to the souls of men; See Gill on Mat 20:26.
