Father Macarius the Great reached such a degree of humility that all the brothers spoke to him as if he were a saint, but he did not deign to answer them. Then one of the brothers said to him in a passion:
“If you had turned into a camel driver stealing salt, even then the holy brothers would not have dared to touch you!”
Hearing this, Father Macarius smiled and spoke.
