Self-Respect

Discipline is the highest form of self-respect.

Discipline is the self-control that is gained by requiring that rules or orders be obeyed, and the ability to keep working at something that is difficult. Disciplinarians believe that such self-control is of the utmost importance and enforce a set of rules that aim to develop such behavior.

Examples of self-discipline include delaying gratification, controlling one’s impulses, and carrying out actions despite feeling discouraged. Self-discipline also requires resistance to temptations and determination in the long term.

Jesus disciplined his disciples so well that they were willing to die for the ttuth instead of lying to  save their lives.

They were all under twenty  according to scriptures except for Peter.  Remember Jesus telling Peter in Matthew 17:24-27 is about Jesus and Peter paying the temple tax. The passage teaches that while Jesus, as the Son of God, is exempt from the tax, he chooses to pay it to avoid causing offense. He then miraculously provides the money by telling Peter to catch a fish that contains a shekel to cover both their taxes. Only Jesus and Peter were both aged over 20, old enough to pay tax  (Exodus 30:14).  The rest were teenagers that changed the world.  Matthew 17:24-27. 

Jesus patiently taught the boys how to do the right thing at the right time for the right reason. To which they were willing to die for the TRUTH.
