jesus being humble

⁵For this understanding in you was also in Christ Jesus: ⁶who, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be seized. ⁷Instead, he emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and accepting the state of a man. ⁸He humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, even the death of the Cross. ⁹Because of this, God has also exalted him and has given him a name which is above every name, ¹⁰so that, at the name of Jesus, every knee would bend, of those in heaven, of those on earth, and of those in hell,

⁴⁵So, too, the Son of man has not come so that they would minister to him, but so that he would minister and would give his life as a redemption for many.”

⁹For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, he became poor for your sakes, so that through his poverty, you might become rich.

²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.

³knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands and that he came from God and was going to God, ⁴he rose up from the meal, and he set aside his vestments, and when he had received a towel, he wrapped it around himself. ⁵Next he put water into a shallow bowl, and he began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which he was wrapped. ⁶And then he came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to him, “Lord, would you wash my feet?” ⁷Jesus responded and said to him: “What I am doing, you do not now understand. But you shall understand it afterward.”

¹⁹Then Jesus responded and said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, the Son is not able to do anything of himself, but only what he has seen the Father doing. For whatever he does, even this does the Son do, similarly.

¹²Then, on the next day, the great crowd that had come to the feast day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, ¹³took branches of palm trees, and they went ahead to meet him. And they were crying out: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who arrives in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel!” ¹⁴And Jesus found a small donkey, and he sat upon it, just as it is written: ¹⁵“Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your king arrives, sitting on the colt of a donkey.” ¹⁶At first, his disciples did not realize these things. But when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that these things happened to him.

¹⁵For we do not have a high priest who is unable to have compassion on our infirmities, but rather one who was tempted in all things, just as we are, yet without sin.

¹⁴and if my people, over whom my name has been invoked, being converted, will have petitioned me and sought my face, and will have done penance for their wicked ways, then I will heed them from heaven, and I will forgive their sins, and I will heal their land.

¹⁰Be humbled in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.

⁸He humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, even the death of the Cross.

¹⁶For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life. ¹⁷For God did not send his Son into the world, in order to judge the world, but in order that the world may be saved through him.

¹Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called as an Apostle, separated for the Gospel of God, ²which he had promised beforehand, through his Prophets, in the Holy Scriptures, ³about his Son, who was made for him from the offspring of David according to the flesh, ⁴the Son of God, who was predestined in virtue according to the Spirit of sanctification from the resurrection of the dead, our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁵through whom we have received grace and Apostleship, for the sake of his name, for the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles, ⁶from whom you also have been called by Jesus Christ:

³⁴And Jesus, going out, saw a great multitude. And he took pity on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.

⁵Similarly, young persons, be subject to the elders. And infuse all humility among one another, for God resists the arrogant, but to the humble he gives grace.

¹⁶For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life.
