The Prediction of Death (Verses 30-32)
• Secrecy:
Why did Jesus not want anyone to know they were passing through Galilee at this time?
• The Message: Jesus says the "Son of Man" will be delivered into the hands of men. What is the significance of him using this specific title in the context of suffering?
• Fear of Asking: The text says the disciples "were afraid to ask him." Why do you think they were afraid to seek clarification about his death?
• Misunderstanding: What preconceived ideas about the Messiah might have made it difficult for the disciples to accept that Jesus would be killed?

True Greatness (Verses 33-35)
• The Argument:
While Jesus was talking about his upcoming sacrifice, the disciples were arguing about who was the greatest. How does this contrast highlight their lack of spiritual maturity at this moment?
• Jesus’ Question: When Jesus asks, "What were you arguing about on the way?", he already knows the answer. What does this tell you about his teaching method?
• The Definition: Jesus defines greatness as being "last of all and servant of all." How does this definition conflict with modern cultural views of success and power?
• Servant Leadership: What are some practical ways to be a "servant of all" in your current workplace, family, or community?

Welcoming the "Least" (Verses 36-37)
• The Object Lesson:
Why did Jesus use a child to illustrate his point about greatness? (Note: In that culture, children had very low social status and no power).
• Identity with the Lowly: Jesus says that welcoming a child is the same as welcoming him and the Father. What does this reveal about God's heart for the marginalized and vulnerable?
• Practical Welcome: Who are the "children" (the vulnerable or overlooked) in your life or society today that Jesus might be calling you to welcome?

Personal Reflection
What topics or questions are you currently "afraid to ask" God about in your own life?
Is your current pursuit of "greatness" aligned more with the world's definition or with Jesus' definition of service?
