<p>23:11&nbsp;<em>But he that is greatest</em>- The Lord spoke distinctly in the singular. Not 'Those who are the great ones', but the specific individual who is the greatest. Surely He had Himself in view.</p><p><em>Among you</em>- Again, this is distinctly relevant to the Lord Jesus personally. He was soon to repeat these words with specific reference to Himself: &quot;He that is greatest among you... He that is chief, as He that serves... I am&nbsp;<em>among you</em>&nbsp;as He that serves&quot; (Lk. 22:26,27). The idea of &quot;among you&quot; is an oblique reference to His humanity, as one of us.</p><p><em>Shall be your servant</em>- The servant of Israel was the subject of Isaiah's servant songs, which came to their climax in the Lord's death upon the cross, prefigured by His washing the disciples' feet half naked as a servant, dressed as He would be at the time of His final death on the cross.</p>
