II. They requested, so to speak, something which had only existence in their own imagination (worldly honours in the kingdom of Christ). III. They sought something which, in its higher import, had already been given away — perhaps to themselves, perhaps to others — viz., special degrees of election. (J. P. Lange, D. D.)
