Thus were spent the days in the earthly life of Jesus. He often dismissed His disciples to visit their homes and rest; but He gently resisted their efforts to draw Him away from His labors. All day He toiled, 260 teaching the ignorant, healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, feeding the multitude; and at the eventide or in the early morning, He went away to the sanctuary of the mountains for communion with His Father. Often He passed the entire night in prayer and meditation, returning at daybreak to His work among the people.

Sådan gik dagene, mens Jesus vandrede på jorden. Ofte sendte han sine disciple bort for at besøge deres hjem og for at få hvile, men han modstod blidt deres bestræbelser for at drage ham bort fra hans gerning. Hele dagen igennem arbejdede han med at belære de uvidende, helbrede de syge, give de blinde deres syn igen og med at give skarerne føde, og ved aftenstid eller tidligt om morgenen gik han til sit lønkammer i bjergene for at være i samfund med sin himmelske Fader. Ofte tilbragte han hele natten i bøn og meditation og vendte så ved daggry tilbage til sin gerning blandt mennesker.
