As the founder of Christianity, Jesus never taught nor approved of any kind of subordination of one of his followers over another. Instead, he expressly forbade it in any Christian relationship. All three Synoptic Gospels record Jesus teaching his disciples that any subordination of one to another, both abusive and customary, is a pagan practice—not something to take place among his followers. Having issued his strong prohibition against subordination of others, he prescribed the Christian alternative to subordination as being the exact opposite: profound service to others, extending even to making the ultimate sacrifice of giving one's life if necessary: His first phrase, "lord it over", described the Roman dictators who wielded ultimate and unlimited power.

The Hoopoe likes the idea and he agrees to help implement it, provided of course that the two Athenians can first convince all the other birds.
