Sometimes we grow jealous of others' ministries or spiritual gifts. But Jesus teaches here that exalting remains God's business alone. He echoes the biblical (as in Is 2:11-12; 5:15-16; Ezek 21:26) and later Jewish (as in Sirach 11:5-6; 1 Enoch 104:2; 1QM 14.10-11) emphasis on end-time reversal of present status.
