Marcus J. Borg Quote

I think Jesus would have said, It’s not about me. During his lifetime, he deflected attention from himself. In an illuminating passage in our earliest gospel, when a man addressed him as Good Teacher, Jesus responded with, Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.22
