Luke22:24
24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
Luke only taketh notice of this strife, at the time of their being in the Guest-Chamber. Such a strife we read of, Matth. 18.1. & 20.25, 26. Mark 9.33. and in this Gospel, Ch. 9.46. by which it is apparent, that they had been more then once arguing this point. But yet most Interpreters think that it is here placed by Luke out of order, and some Translate [non-Latin text not transcribed] in this Text, There had been, not there was, and indeed we can hardly think so uncharitably of the Apostles, as to imagine of them, that immediately after their receiving, first the Passover, then the Lords Supper, their thoughts should be taken up with things of this nature, much less that they should discourse of any such Subjects as these, especially also considering what our Saviour had told them, that he was betrayed into the Hands of Sinners. Something of our Saviours Answer pressing upon them Brotherly Love, and mutual Serviceableness, each to other, was very proper to this time, which our Saviour (tho spoken before) might at this time repeat, and Luke prefatorily to it might take notice of this contest in this place.
