In the sanctuary of the home, Jesus received His education, not merely from His parents, but from His heavenly Father. As He grew older, God opened to Him more and more of the great work before Him. But notwithstanding His knowledge of this, He assumed no airs of superiority. Never did He by disrespect cause His parents pain or anxiety. He delighted to honor and obey them. Although He was not ignorant of His great mission, He consulted their wishes, and submitted to their authority. {5BC 1117.7}

Jesus fik sin uddannelse ved hjemmets arne, ikke blot af sine jordiske forældre, men af sin Fader i Himmelen. Da han blev ældre, åbenbarede Gud mere og mere af den store gerning, der ventede ham, men til trods for sit kendskab dertil opførte han sig ikke overlegent. Han (1118) voldte aldrig sine forældre sorg og ængstelse ved ikke at vise respekt. Han elskede at ære og adlyde dem. Skønt han ikke var uvidende om sin store mission, rådførte han sig med dem angående deres ønsker og var lydig imod dem. Selvom Han ikke var udvidende om Sin store mission, tog han hensyn til deres ønsker, og underlagde deres myndighed.
