(Matt. 23:6; compare the video The Front Seats in the Synagogue in the study note on Matthew 23:6.) This big-big God people them also use to think that they better pass other people. f (Luke 18:9-12) Jesus knew that this kind na thinking was making the apostle them to think the same way. (Prov. 19:11) He was not expecting them to not make mistake. And he was patient with them anytime they make mistake. He knew that they were having good heart.
