Jesus repeatedly spoke to his disciples about the need to cultivate humility. However, he did more than simply tell his disciples what it meant to be humble ​ — he showed them how.
وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَتَنَاوَلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ ،‏ قَامَ عَنِ ٱلْعَشَاءِ وَغَسَلَ أَقْدَامَهُمْ ،‏ وَهُوَ عَمَلٌ كَانَ يُنْجِزُهُ عَادَةً أَحَدُ ٱلْخَدَمِ .‏
