Greek Commentary for Matthew 20:25
Indirect middle again, calling to him. [source]

Only here and Acts 10:38. The preposition κατά , against, implies a power exercised for harm. Compare being lords over, 1 Peter 5:3, and exercise dominion, Matthew 20:25, both compounded with this preposition. [source]
See Matthew 20:25; Acts 19:16. Other words are used for the exercise of legitimate authority in the church: προΐ́σταμαι , to be over (1 Thessalonians 5:12; 1 Timothy 5:17); ποιμαίνω , as 1 Peter 5:2, tend. But this carries the idea of high-handed rule. [source]
Present active participle of κατακυριευω katakurieuō late compound (κατα κυριος kataτων κληρων kurios) as in Matthew 20:25. [source]
