Meeting with both disciples and men of worth guided by Mannaen. Arrival in Jericho.

In this chapter, Jesus teaches his disciples about true greatness, emphasizing servitude rather than dominion over others, mirroring His own example of service and sacrifice. He instructs them to be at peace with one another and to understand that while they may partake in His sufferings, no one can fully endure the totality of His sacrifice. The discourse highlights the distinction between drinking 'of' His chalice, symbolizing sharing in His trials, and drinking 'His chalice' entirely, which only He could accomplish. The chapter underscores the call to humility, service, and participation in Christ's redemptive mission.
