When they come to Capernaum, Jesus teaches his disciples about being humble servants. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-newevent]])
|
|
|
|
# they came to
|
|
|
|
"they arrived at." The word "they" refers to Jesus and his disciples.

|
# discussing
|
|
|
|
"discussing with one another"
|
|
|
|
# they were silent
|
|
|
|
They were silent because they were ashamed to tell Jesus what they had been discussing. AT: "they were silent because they were ashamed" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# who was the greatest
|
|
|
|
Here "the greatest" refers to "the greatest" among the disciples. AT: "who was the greatest among them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

|
|
# If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all

AT: "If anyone wants God to consider him to be the most important person of all, he must consider himself to be the least important of all" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
