It's evident from today’s narrative that The Twelve didn’t understand Jesus’ third and final teaching on his suffering, burial, and resurrection from last week. 
Not only did the Twelve not understand what Jesus was teaching, they misinterpret His teaching. 
They heard the part about going up to Jerusalem— and they assume He is about to be crowned King. 
And that thought triggers something for a few of the Disciples. 
We’re going to see their ambition continue today. 
Jesus has already had several conversations about ambition. 
Unfortunately, today won’t be his last either. We have a lot to learn from today's passage!
