If Jesus had delegated any special authority to one of the disciples above the others, we should not find them so often contending as to who should be the greatest. They would have submitted to the wish of their Master, and honored the one whom He had chosen. {FLB 310.3}

Hvis Jesus havde uddelegeret en særlig autoritet til en af disciplene over andre, vil vi ikke finde dem så ofte i strid om hvem skal være den største. De ville have underlagt sig deres Mesters ønske, og æret den, hvem han har valgt.
