25. Their priests were not really priests, as we might think today, but stewards or servants of the people. Service was the highest valued character or virtue. They all depended on hard work, self-reliance, and charity amongst the brethren, not upon taxes or accounted tithes. They were dispersed all over the country in every community throughout the world, living in it, but not of it. “But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.” Matthew 23:11 Their word was held so reputable that even Herod excused them from taking the oath of allegiance, which was demanded due to his fear of the people and his own love of Hellenism.
