But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
All Commentaries on Matthew 23:11 Go To Matthew 23
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
Since those who have arrived teaching new beliefs for the most part do so from conceit and arrogance, I will say something concerning the value of the teaching. The Lord cuts short this opinion and way as leading to destruction. He says, “You love glory and the places of first importance.” Meanwhile he desires the servant’s role and cultivates humility.
