John Gill Commentary Mark 10:44

"and whosoever would be first among you, shall be servant of all." — Mark 10:44 (ASV)

And whosoever of you will be the chiefest
Is desirous of the highest place and the greatest honour

shall be servant of all :
for the ministers of the Gospel are not only the servants of Christ Jesus, but also of the churches for his sake; and in serving them, they serve Christ: not that they are to be the servants of men and to take their instructions from them and act according to rules prescribed by them; or seek to please men for then they would not be the servants of Christ: but they become servants to all that they may win souls to Christ, and increase his churches, and enlarge his interest; and such as are most useful this way are the chiefest in the Gospel church state; they are honoured by Christ and esteemed by his people; (See Gill on Matthew 20:27).
