'Humbled' in the Bible

And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."

I tell you that this man went down to his home justified rather than the Pharisee. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."

He humbled himself, by becoming obedient to the point of death -- even death on a cross!
