It is clear in all of the Gospels that Jesus intends that his disciples do what he did. In fact, he summed this up well during the Last Supper, after washing his disciples' feet: "What I have done was give you an example; as I have done, so you must also do." This entails not only the ministry of service, it includes the passing on of the Truth that has been handed on to us through St. Peter and his successors.
