50, 51. A Constant Ministry—[Luke 2:50, 51 quoted.] Christ did not enter upon His public ministry for eighteen years after this, but He was constantly ministering to others, improving every opportunity offered Him. Even in His childhood He spoke words of comfort and tenderness to young and old. His mother could not but mark His words, His spirit, His willing obedience to all her requirements (The Youth’s Instructor, September 8, 1898).{5BC 1119.2}51. See EGW comment on John 2:1, 2.{5BC 1119.3}

50, 51. En stadig tjeneste.--[Luk. 2,50, 51 citeret.] Kristus gik ikke ind i Sin offentlige virksomhed atten år efter dette, uden at Han hele tiden tjene andre, udnyttede enhver anledning han fik givet. Også i Sin barndom sagde han trøstende og ømme ord til unge og ældre. Hans moder kunne ikke undgå at bemærke Hans ord, Hans ånd, Hans villige lydighed til alle hendes krav. (YI 8. sept., 1898).
