Matthew 20:24 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Against the two brethren. — Literally, concerning, or about. The context shows that it was not a righteous indignation, as against that which was unworthy of true followers of Jesus, but rather the jealousy of rivals, angry that the two brothers should have taken what seemed an unfair advantage of our Lord’s known affection for them and for their mother.

Matthew 20:24

24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
