📚 Contexto Histórico
In the time of Jesus, the Gentile rulers, such as those in the Roman Empire, were known for exercising absolute authority and dominion over their subjects, which reflected the common cultural norm of leadership through power and hierarchy. This verse appears in Matthew 20, where Jesus is responding to his disciples' dispute over positions of greatness in his kingdom, using it to highlight the contrast between worldly leadership and God's way. Jesus was teaching in a society where political and social structures often prioritized control, setting the stage for his revolutionary message of servanthood.
