Matthew 18:1
The disciples were not asking who would be the greatest in general. They were speaking specifically of themselves. They wanted to know who would be the greatest in the earthly kingdom of Christ, assuming it would begin soon. Jesus had to coax them to ask the question, because they were embarrassed to admit it. This question burned in their minds more and more as the time of Christ’s departure came closer. Eve after the resurrection, they failed to understand that the kingdom would not come at that time.
