So Jesus called them together
This phrase indicates a moment of intentional teaching by Jesus. The Greek word for "called" is "προσκαλέω" (proskaleō), which implies a summoning with purpose. Jesus often used such moments to impart crucial lessons to His disciples. The act of calling them together suggests a communal learning experience, emphasizing the importance of unity and shared understanding among His followers. In the historical context, rabbis would gather their disciples to teach them important lessons, and Jesus follows this tradition, underscoring His role as the ultimate Rabbi and Teacher.

and said
The Greek word "λέγω" (legō) is used here, which means to speak or to say. This word is often used in the Gospels to introduce significant teachings or declarations by Jesus. The use of "said" here highlights the authoritative nature of Jesus' words. In the scriptural context, when Jesus speaks, it is not merely conversational but carries the weight of divine instruction. This sets the stage for the important teaching that follows.

You know that those regarded as rulers of the Gentiles
The phrase "those regarded as rulers" refers to the political and social leaders of the time. The Greek word "δοκέω" (dokeō) implies a perception or reputation, suggesting that these rulers are seen as powerful figures. The "Gentiles" were non-Jewish people, often viewed by Jews as outsiders or pagans. Historically, Roman rulers and other Gentile leaders were known for their authoritarian rule. This context would resonate with Jesus' Jewish audience, who were familiar with the oppressive nature of Roman governance.

lord it over them
The phrase "lord it over" comes from the Greek "κατακυριεύω" (katakurieuō), meaning to exercise dominion or control in a domineering manner. This reflects the hierarchical and often oppressive leadership style of the Gentile rulers. In the historical context, Roman leaders were notorious for their absolute power and often harsh rule. Jesus contrasts this worldly leadership style with the servant leadership He advocates for His followers, challenging them to reject the pursuit of power for its own sake.

and their superiors exercise authority over them
The term "superiors" translates from the Greek "μεγαλύνω" (megalynō), which means to make great or to magnify. This implies a sense of self-exaltation among those in power. "Exercise authority" is from the Greek "κατεξουσιάζω" (katexousiazō), indicating a strong, controlling influence. In the scriptural context, this reflects the worldly view of leadership as a means to exert control and elevate oneself above others. Jesus uses this as a teaching point to illustrate the contrast between worldly and godly leadership, urging His disciples to adopt a posture of humility and service rather than seeking power and dominance.

(42) Exercise lordship. . . . exercise authority.--On the force of the two words, see Note on Matthew 20:25.

Verse 42. - In these words our Lord does not find fault with that power or authority, whether civil or ecclesiastical, which is exercised by princes or bishops; for this is necessary in every state, and so is sanctioned by Divine and human law. What he condemns is the arbitrary and tyrannical exercise of such power, which the princes of the Gentiles were accustomed to.
