Introduction: The Disciples Desire to be Great
I.
The Prounoucment
Mark 10:30
-(v.32)
There was this paradoxical fear about Jesus going on.
Folks essentially did not know what to do with him.
Notice those that followed him were both Amazed and Fearful.
What does that mean to be both Amazed and Fearful at the same time?
-(v.33-34)
Jesus took the twelve aside and gave them more revelation.
Look what he told them
-We are going together but I am not coming back with you
-I am going to be brandished as a traitor, and will become the Enemy of the Ruling Class of Jews.
-I going to be convicted of a crime
-That sentence is going to Death
-I will be mocked, spit on, scourge and kill
-But “Three Days Later He will rise again”
Did you notice the Audacity of James and John?
Do you have a problem with their statement to Jesus?
(v.36) Jesus tells them to ask their question “What do you want me to do for you?”
(v.37) “Grant that we may sit, one on Your Right and one on your left, in your glory”.........WOW
Tell me what you think about this request that they made to Jesus??
Do you think this question was audacious?
Where do you think this question came from?
Mark 9:
(v.30-31)
This pronouncement from Jesus happened more than once, but the disciples were so hard of hearing that they didn’t hear him telling them that he must die.
They were so focus on what they had given up to follow him that they could not understand his clear revelation that he was going to leave them.
(v.32)
Notice this verse.....What is so hard about what Jesus just said.
Acts 1:1
(v.6) Look at the Disciples question to Jesus
(v.7) Look at Jesus response to them
(v.33)
Jesus ask them what they were discussing on the road trip to Capernaum
(v.34)
They Kept Silent
Why do you think they did not tell him what they were discussing?
Now Mark was written by John Mark who was a contemporary of Peter.
He followed the disciples around.
But in this case he was probably told this story by Peter as he was writing this gospel.
Peter told him man we were arguing about who the greatest would be when Jesus got into our business.
(v.35)
What does Jesus reponse reflect about what he understood they were talking about?
So that lets you know when Jesus ask them what they were talking about he was looking for more than just knowledge of their conversation he was looking for humility.
mark 9:38
We have another problem lets take a look at Matthews Gospel
matthew 20:
(v.20) look at what Matthew says about this story.......matthew says that James and John mother asks Jesus to give her sons positions of power.
This is different from Matthews Gospel:
Can someone iron out this apparent contradictions?
