13. What proves that Jesus was patient in dealing with his apostles?

¹³ Jesus Christ certainly demonstrated just what it means to have the right attitude toward others. He patiently put up with his apostles​—their petty rivalries and their slowness to comprehend. Never did he lose his temper in dealing with them. Rather, he patiently illustrated lessons he wanted them to learn. (Mark 9:33-37; John 13:5-17) We have no record that Jesus Christ ever gave his associates a tongue-lashing. How fine it would be for us to imitate his perfect example!
