AN.5.253. Sāmaṇerasutta ("Who Should Have a Novice as Attendant")
Aṅguttara Nikāya ("Collections of Numbered Discourses")“Mendicants, a novice should attend on a mendicant with five qualities. What five? It’s a mendicant who has the entire spectrum of an adept’s ethics, immersion, wisdom, freedom, and the knowledge and vision of freedom. A novice should attend on a mendicant with these five qualities.”
