MATTHEW 20:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.”
And when the ten heard it, they were indignant at the two brothers. The ten disciples' indignation at James and John's status-seeking is not moral superiority but competitive response: the ten are indignant because James and John tried to get ahead of them. The competition that James and John's mother's request exposed is the same competition that runs through all twelve.
