15. I have set an example for you, so that you will do just what I have done for you.
16. I am telling you the truth: slaves are never greater than their master, and messengers are never greater than the one who sent them.
17. Now that you know this truth, how happy you will be if you put it into practice!
18. “I am not talking about all of you; I know those I have chosen. But the scripture must come true that says, ‘The man who shared my food turned against me.’
19. I tell you this now before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe that ‘I Am Who I Am.’
20. I am telling you the truth: whoever receives anyone I send receives me also; and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.”
