dairygirl4u2c Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 why do you suspect Jesus told the disciples not to argue over who was the greatest disciple? because there was no greatest, or because they just shouldn't argue over it, or?

Resurrexi Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 (edited) I don't know if the original poster wanted this for an answer: "He that is the greatest among you shall be your servant." (Matthew 23:11) The Theotokos would definitely be Christ's greatest disciple, though. Edited September 26, 2009 by Resurrexi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissyP89 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 To me, Thomas. His doubt was incredible, yet in him I think we can all find a piece of ourselves. I can, in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
