9“Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked Him. 10“Listen,” He said to them, “when you’ve entered the city, a man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him into the house he enters. 11Tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks you, “Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover with My disciples?”’ 12Then he will show you a large, furnished room upstairs. Make the preparations there.” 13So they went and found it just as He had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

Philippians 2: 3Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. 4Everyone should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

5Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus, 6who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be used for His own advantage. 7Instead He emptied Himself by assuming the form of a slave, taking on the likeness of men. And when He had come as a man in His external form, 8He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death - even to death on a cross.
