46. A Pattern in Courtesy—After Joseph and Mary had searched for Him for three days, they found Him in the court of the temple, “sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all that heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.” He asked His questions with a grace that charmed these learned men. He was a perfect pattern for all youth. Ever He manifested deference and respect for age. The religion of Jesus will never lead any child to be rude and uncourteous (The Youth’s Instructor, September 8, 1898).{5BC 1119.1}

46. Et forbillede i høflighed. - Efter at Josef og Maria havde ledt efter Ham i tro dage, fandt de Ham i tempelsalene "siddende midt iblandt de lærte, både hørte dem, og stillede dem spørgsmål. Og alle der hørte Ham, var forbavsede over Hans forstand og svar." Han stillede Sine spørgsmål med en nåde der betog disse lærte mænd. Han var et fuldkomment forbillede for alle unge. Han viste altid agtelse og respekt for ældre. Jesu religion vil aldrig lede noget barn til uhøflig eller uterlig. (YI Sept. 8, 1898).
