Like Master, Like Servant
Matthew 20:20-28
Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.…


Christ, like a good and wise physician, first drank the draught Himself which He was preparing for His own. He underwent His passion and death, and so He became immortal and impassible; thus teaching His own how they might confidently drink the draught which produces soundness and life.

( St. Bernard.)
