Jesus had nothing to do with the various subjects of dissension among the Jews. It was His work to present the truth. His words shed a flood of light upon the teachings of patriarchs and prophets, and the Scriptures came to men as a new revelation. Never before had His hearers perceived such a depth of meaning in the word of God.

Jesus havde intet at gøre med de forskellige emner for uenighed blandt jøderne. Det var hans opgave at forkynde sandheden. Hans ord virkede som et lyshav over profeternes og patriarkernes lære, og skrifterne blev for mennesker som en ny åbenbaring. Aldrig nogensinde før havde hans tilhørere opdaget, at der var et sådant dyb af betydning i Guds ord.
