“Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.”
An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest — the argument about greatness immediately follows the second passion prediction — the disciples' preoccupation with status is the direct contrast to Jesus' announcement of humiliation. The argument about greatness is Luke's note about the condition of the disciples who have just heard their teacher speak of betrayal.
