Jesus demonstrated love for his figurative body, “the congregation, ” particularly by the caring manner in which he served the interests of those who would become its members.
مَثَلًا ،‏ قَالَ يَسُوعُ لِتَلَامِيذِهِ عِنْدَمَا كَانُوا مُتْعَبِينَ :‏ « تَعَالَوْا أَنْتُمْ عَلَى ٱنْفِرَادٍ إِلَى مَكَانٍ خَلَاءٍ وَٱسْتَرِيحُوا قَلِيلًا » .‏
