Matthew 20:24

Verse 24. The ten … were moved with indignation against the two brothers, who had petitioned for the first and chief places. Witham.—The disciples understood from our Lord’s answer, that the request came in the first instance from the two disciples; but as they saw them much honoured by Christ, they did not dare openly to accuse them. S. Chry.—The other ten apostles were as much wrong in their anger and jealousy as the former two were in their untimely petition. In his answer to both, we cannot sufficiently admire the wonderful meekness of our blessed Saviour’s character. Jansenius.
