"Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!"
19
Whoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
20
For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
21
Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
20
Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.
21
He said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom."
22
But Jesus answered, "You don't know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?" They said to him, "We are able."
23
He said to them, "You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with, but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father."
24
When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.
25
But Jesus summoned them, and said, "You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
26
It shall not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.
27
Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant,
28
even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
11
But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
33
He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?"
34
But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who was the greatest.
35
He sat down, and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all."
36
He took a little child, and set him in their midst. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37
"Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, doesn't receive me, but him who sent me."
14
But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, "Allow the little children to come to me! Don't forbid them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
15
Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."
35
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask."
36
He said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"
37
They said to him, "Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand, and one at your left hand, in your glory."
38
But Jesus said to them, "You don't know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"
39
They said to him, "We are able." Jesus said to them, "You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;
40
but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared."
41
When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards James and John.
42
Jesus summoned them, and said to them, "You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
43
But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.
44
Whoever of you wants to become first among you, shall be bondservant of all.
45
For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
46
There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.
47
Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
48
and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great."
24
There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.
25
He said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called 'benefactors.'
26
But not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.
27
For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn't it he who sits at the table? But I am in the midst of you as one who serves.
10
In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; in honor preferring one another;
3
doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;
1 à 14 De l'esprit du riyaume des cieux.
En cette heure-là désigne le moment qui suivit le récit précédent.
- La question des disciples pouvait avoir été occasionnée par la distinction accordée à Pierre (Matthieu 16.18) et à deux de ses condisciples. (Matthieu 17.1)
D'après Marc (Marc 9.33 et suivants) et Luc, (Luc 9.46 et suivants) ils discutaient entre eux la question, et c'est Jésus qui leur demande le sujet de leur entretien.
La question suppose que les disciples en étaient encore à l'idée d'un royaume terrestre, glorieux, dans lequel tels d'entre eux occuperaient la première place, seraient plus grands (grec) que les autres.
Mais la réponse de Jésus montre qu'il voit se manifester dans leur discussion une préoccupation égoïste et orgueilleuse.
Les pauvres disciples n'en furent pas guéris par l'instruction qui va suivre (Comparer Luc 22.24)
L'importance de l'humilité. (Matthieu 18:1-6)
Christ a beaucoup parlé de Ses souffrances, mais a dit peu de choses au sujet de Sa Gloire ; les disciples, quant à eux, firent l’inverse, attachant plus d’importance à la renommée qu’à tout le reste.Mise en garde contre les scandales. (Matthieu 18:7-14)
Comment esquiver les offenses. (Matthieu 18:15-20)
La conduite envers les frères. Parabole du serviteur sans pitié. (Matthieu 18:21-35)
Beaucoup aiment entendre parler de privilèges et de gloire, que ce soit dans leur travail ou leurs épreuves éventuelles. Notre Seigneur mit un petit enfant devant Ses disciples, leur assurant solennellement qu’ils ne pouvaient entrer dans Son royaume à moins qu'ils ne se convertissent et ne deviennent comme ce petit. Quand ils sont très jeunes, les enfants ne désirent pas exercer d’autorité, ils ne sont pas spécialement sensibles aux distinctions extérieures, ils sont exempt de toute malice, ils peuvent être enseignés et acceptent volontiers de dépendre de leurs parents. Il est vrai qu'ils commencent rapidement à montrer d'autres dispositions et d'autres idées, dès qu’ils grandissent ; mais ces « marques » de la prime enfance peuvent tout à fait être des exemples d’humilité pour les véritables chrétiens.
Il est certain que nous avons quotidiennement besoin d'être renouvelés spirituellement, afin de rester simples, humbles, comme de petits enfants, disposés à être le plus petit parmi notre entourage. Poursuivons chaque jour ce but, examinons notre âme !
