From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verses 11,12. See Barnes "Mt 20:26". He that shall humble himself, etc. God will exalt or honour him that is humble, and that seeks a lowly place among men. That is true religion, and God will and God will reward it. {y} "But he" Mt 20:26,27 __________________________________________________________________
