Matthew 11:29 Study Tee
True strength does not elevate itself.
The word translated “lowly” or “humble” in Matthew 11:29 comes from the Greek word ταπεινός (tapeinos). It means lowly in position, humble in spirit, not self-exalting, willing to take the lower place.
When Jesus says, “I am gentle and lowly in heart,” He is not presenting weakness. He is revealing the character of the King. The One with all authority describes Himself as humble.
This Study Tee highlights the English translation clearly while grounding it in its original Greek meaning. It reminds the believer that humility is not self-deprecation. It is alignment with Christ.
