Showing his willingness to express this love to the greatest degree by giving his life in behalf of sinful mankind, Jesus told his 12 apostles: “The Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister and to give his soul a ransom in exchange for many. ” ​ — Mark 10: 45; see also John 15: 13.
Ilmutades oma valmidust väljendada seda armastust ülimal määral, andes oma elu patuse inimkonna kasuks, ütles Jeesus oma 12 apostlile: „Inimese Poeg ei ole tulnud ennast laskma teenida, vaid ise teenima ja andma oma hinge lunaks paljude eest! ” — Markuse 10: 45; vaata ka Johannese 15: 13.
