That observation sums up the tendency of imperfect humans to form friendships based on what they can receive rather than on what they can give. Jesus displayed no such weakness. He was not swayed by a person’s financial or social status.
قَبْلَ أَنْ نَتَنَاوَلَ هذَا ٱلسُّؤَالَ ٱلْمُهِمَّ ،‏ لِنُنَاقِشِ ٱلْمِثَالَ ٱلَّذِي رَسَمَهُ يَسُوعُ فِي مَجَالِ ٱلصَّدَاقَةِ وَنَتَأَمَّلْ فِي مَا نَتَعَلَّمُهُ مِنْ تَجَاوُبِ تَلَامِيذِهِ مَعَهُ .‏
