• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 35-45Verses 35-45 See the notes at Matthew 20:20-28. Mark 10:35 And James and John … came unto him - They did this through the instrumentality of their mother. They did not come in “person,” but they got their mother to make the request for them. Compare the notes at Matthew 20:20.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 32-45Verses 32-45 Christ's going on with his undertaking for the salvation of mankind, was, is, and will be, the wonder of all his disciples.

Christ shows them that dominion was generally abused…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 45Jesus offered his own example to demonstrate what leadership in God’s kingdom means. Jesus understands his death as a ransom.
