English term

was not putting on an act

English to Spanish Art/Literary Religion Humility
Jesus said we should pray in secret so nobody would know. "Moses knew not that his face shone." He was the meekest man on earth. The humble don't need to try to be humble. Jesus washed the disciples’ feet, but He ***was not putting on an act***. It was natural to Him.
